Alaska Kayak

Getting ready to head north to Anchorage this Saturday for a 10 day kayak trip in the Prince William Sound. The trip is sponsored by the Sierra Club. I am looking forward to trying out a relatively new activity, and also anxious to test drive the knee and see how the shoulder feels.The trip leaves from Whittier on June 9. For the first several days, we will learn cold water kayaking skills and also work on a forest service project -- building tent pads. For the remainder of our trip, we shuttle the kayaks into a more remote part of the sound and travel from campsite to campsite until June 19. Hopefully, we will see whales, bears, seals, birds, and other cool creatures. I'm also hopeful that it won't rain the entire time. So far, the extended forecast is for rain and showers. Oh well. It is Alaska and I have a waterproof camera.
