Alaska 1999, a Very Challenging Trip!

Water landings, a necessity of float planes, terrified me! We did get a gorgeous view of Denali on the way back.

Magnificent but strange many-legged starfish in clear water.

Teamwork to carry canvas boats already loaded with food and gear to the water.

One of the hazards of using a big company is getting a subcontractor that doesn't do a good job. The sub for this trip messed up the food, utensils, and itinerary. We managed to make it, but one paddler suffered carpal tunnel after our 20-mile day, required by the sub's poor planning. Happy we did it, happy it ended mostly safely... we even wrote an article about it!
