Sara’s First Hunt

Bluefox Bay turned out to be a disappointment in regards to fish and deer. We found two signs that said no fishing on the opposite sides of our anchorage. We can only assume the no fishing signs were to protect the abundant amount of otters and seals in the bay. […]

We Found Bears

If you are visiting Alaska and you want to see bears we highly recommend you take a plane or boat to Geographic Harbor. Our first day searching for bears was very rainy. Marj and Sara gave up and Wade went ahead to scout out for bears in the area. He […]

Searching For Bears

Today we crossed the 60 mile channel from Kodiak Island to the Alaska Peninsula and anchored in Geographic Harbor. This location is reputably “THE” place to go for viewing Alaskan Brown Bears and one of the most photographed spots in Alaska. Not only are there many bears, but people watch […]

St. Paul Marina Kodiak to Litnik Afognak Island

Our First Case Of Crabs

We had dropped our crab trap in Dutch Harbor to test it out but to no avail, so a couple of days ago we gave it another shot! This morning before we pulled up anchor we lifted our crab trap and caught six Dungeness crabs that were all male and […]
