What a summer. Complete with a drive x-country to deliver Dagny to college. Whales/ fish and spending every day on water filled in the rest. Elyn has started teaching in the Hoonah schools…and loving it.

Anyone with a boat can tell you…they are a constant headache. Hard to say why we keep doing it sometimes.

Tell Art hello…see you all up here sometime!!

Tofino is a wonderful place. Catch any waves? Dagny is well into college life…she had a table in the library with her name on it…and just sailed her first regatta with the team in Annapolis. She’s going great. Come on up to AK!! It is almost autumn! Blueberries are ripe and the Coho are in the River

A group of Humpback whales bubblenet feeding in Port Frederick last week. A real treat to watch. #evolutionisathing #krugerexpeditions #waterlife

Dagny is here for a visit. I’ve missed her very much. So good to spend time together pulling crab pots, picking berries and repairing stitches in Buko’s butt. The bear bite is healing well. Biggest challenge is keeping him calm to not rip stitches. #WFR #Alaskafun #fatherdaughter #krugerexpeditions

Been having some fun lately. Buko got tangled up with a Coastal Brown Bear and got an extra hole in his behind. Been fishing and watching whales a bunch too. #humpback #alaska #hoonah

Been busy fishing and working lately. The two activities have me on the water almost constantly. Zero complaints. Been showing folks a good time and filling the freezer too. #alaska #SEAK #waterislife #sailing

A few from the last few days. Been busy. Working on V1 paddling skills. Tuning up my whale magnet…and staring at water a lot lately. Been learning a lot…and that feels damn good. #alaska #humpbackwhales #hoonah

Haven’t posted in a bit. Been a tad busy. Chocolate Lilies…a happy Buko…our backyard (literally)…and a visitor to the masthead. This guy has taken to greeting me when I get home after work. Chitters and talks to me. Makes me feel welcome. The richness and biodiversity of Southeast Alaska hums.

Another day on Alaskan waters. Watched this game of ‘King of the Can’ for a while. SO much to see and do here…makes me feel like the fat kid at the hotdog stand. #sailing #waterlife #happyplace #alaska #photography

Just north of Thorne Bay in Clarence Strait I decided I needed more coffee. Seeing nothing forward I went down and started the water on the stove. The moment I returned to the helm…flub flub and the engine shut down. Wrapped prop. Time for a lil’ swim to unwrap. This line was hiding in a kelp ball.

Pulled up the hook at 0530 today. Will likely set it again at around 1800 tonight in Hoonah, Alaska. We’ve had a good run. Just the right amount of tense moments to legitimately call it an adventure. More on that later. Here’s a pic of Elyn and KÄVIK taken from Raven this morning. #pouvreau #alaska

“RAIN. Heavy at times.” The NWS on VHF was not incorrect. Waited out the snotty weather just north of Ketchikan. Had lunch with Mary and carried on. Got a lot of boat work done while we waited. Rocky Pass to Kake tomorrow. Baranof Warm springs day after. #alaska #sail #cruising #home #neversettle

Just sailed across the line into Alaska! Here’s KÄVIK eating up the miles. Should be in Ketchikan for a late lunch before pressing on. A bit of spicy weather in the forecast the next few days. Hoping to spend a weather day at a hotspring… #alaska #sailing #north #pouvreau

Really enjoying this trip up the coast to Alaskaaaaah. Lots of not-so-serious-yet-memorable rodeos. Hoping for a few days of easier runs ahead. Northhhhh. #alaska #britishcolumbia #canada #photography #broughtons

A few grabs of a gathering storm last evening. Good light show with some long rolls of thunder. Perfect match for the political and cultural storm brewing here in the US. #karmageddon #sail #storm #sail #nature #krugerexpeditions

Been thinking a lot about Southeast AK. I shot this last summer during a berry picking expedition…the regal Devils Club…the smell is pure delight. #southeastalaska #devilsclub #berries #bears #heaven #photography #krugerexpeditions

KÄVIK…sweet early spring evenings in the PNW. Time is immaterial. Soon…NORTH. Adventures await.

A bit of thunder and lightning to go with sunset this evening. 3 months until we point the bows north. #krugerexpeditions #sail #springshowers #photography

One of the most important factors regarding whether you survive a dangerous situation…is how quickly you realize you are in it. #fightback #NOtoOligarchy #FUCKMAGA #NOtoFascists
