We arrived early April at Wade’s farm in Iowa. The initial thought was to work a month on the farm, pack up, and fly back to Kodiak where the boat is still moored. Well you see, what happened was . . . we bought a Lance truck camper to drive […]

We are migrating North! We did not plan to be traveling for as long as we have been these past few months. Our original plan was to work on Wade’s farm in Iowa, as he hasn’t been back in several years. But as a benefit of working remotely we have […]
We took two weeks to winterize the boat then we took a flight to Iowa where we started up Wade’s truck to drive to visit Sara’s family in Arkansas and Wade’s family in Florida. As the cold spell swept across the United States we continued to drive south and found […]
We rounded buoy four to point our bow at the town of Kodiak. Bitter sweet to be back as we never want the cruising to end, but as last year we did not visit family for the holidays so this year we thought we’d fly out. Cheers, Sara and Wade
November 8th How can this be? We have enjoyed six sunny days out of each week since leaving Kodiak Town, even our high wind days have been mainly sunny. We have been told that the weather depends on where you are on the island, but we hope Kodiak Town is […]
November 1st For novice hunters, as Sara, glassing or scoping is a term when the hunter uses binoculars, the scope of a gun, or another high power lens (thanks again to Marj for the awesome super zoom camera lens) to search the area for animals. Wade has been bummed at […]
October 28th We had a lovely visit in Larsen’s Bay. The town is very small. We walked the whole two-miles of town. We were told during summer seasons the Kodiak Lodge Resort is open, and we can only GUESS this is where visitors can get access to public or paid […]
October 26th The sun does not seem to rise above the mountains until late so we hibernate like bears. We wanted to take advantage of good morning weather (54 degrees) and move south before the predicted strong southerly winds were upon us. Today we woke up at the crack of […]
October 24th We missed the little window we had to move south to Larson’s Bay, so we decided to snuggle into East Arm. We were able to pull weather a few days ago and during our transit we heard there is a gale coming from the south in the next […]
October 23rd Howdy Ho everyone, Things have improved drastically for us. Our last noon report mentioned considerable troubles including a malfunctioning head that led a “poopy” of a day. Justin, if your reading this, it made us think of your “Sh*t-apocalypse of 2015″(this is as Justin calls his event), another […]
October 21st The outside temperature is freezing. Literally freezing! We do not run the heater at night, so in the morning the inside boat temperature is near the lower 40s. We run the generator to power central heat and a little portable heater to warm the room to a comfortable […]
October 20th The weather is predicted to be out of the northeast and south the next couple of days so we moved to a new anchorage. Our South Arm anchorage might not be the most comfortable during a northwest wind, which seems to be predominant in this area, so we […]
