Palmer briefly and back to Seward

Now, i'm sitting in the shade on Prince of Wales Island looking over Wale Pass and trying to remember the past two weeks. The bugs (white sox or white feet or something.... like blackflies with white feet) are keeping me awake.

Below is one of the places I looked at to rent when I was in Palmer. No electric or running water but a sweet cabin with an incredible view up on Lazy Mountain. The best part was probably that I got to meet Kay and Gary who are friends of friends of a friend in NH, and their two ferrets. They were kind enough to feed me and let me stay in the cabin during my last night in Palmer before heading back to Seward.
So, Seward-bound again, I stopped in Anchorage to pick up Josh's co-paddler and adventure film consort, Jeremiah Kelley. Below is Jeremiah interviewing Josh about his boat-building.

The always loveable sea otter. Now I'm thinking that this may be the animal to be reincarnated as. Previously, I had settled on a cat.
In Tony's Bar. There is also a stuffed wolf, of course. It's alaska.
Miller's Landing
Paddling with Josh and Jeremiah and their friend Jerry who had organized to take out three girls who are doing internships I think at the Alaska Conservation Foundation.




Josh was given this two man kayak that they had decided to use in order to film some of the local bits for their movie. We spent a day fixing it up and getting it sea worthy.
