Visit from the Coast Guard

Hi Friends,

Well, we're going to try this blog thing. As most of you know, we are caretaking this winter at the Baranof Wilderness Lodge in Warm Springs Bay. The bay is known as a local snow hole--we didn't get much snow early in the winter, but are now at about 16 feet. Today we have heavy rain (2" last night) and wind.

Last week the US Coast Guard buoy tender the Maple stopped by the bay. The Maple is 225 feet and they took a few days off in the middle of a trip repairing aids to navigation. Their second day here, we had 18" of snow, so they actually left early. They did bring some mail and groceries around for us.
Part of the crew stopped by the lodge for a visit.

The visibility came down and we got 18 inches of snow the second day of the Maple's visit. They actually ended up leaving early because of the weather.

Service with a smile--the Maple brought our mail and some groceries from Sitka.
