We had a great visit with Jen's sister Pattei, brother-in-law Scott, and nephew Price. This was the fourth time in ten years these guys have made the effort to come see us, and it was the first time that the weather was good enough that they were able to fly in and back on schedule (no leaving early to avoid bad weather ,or sitting stuck in Sitka waiting for flyable conditions).
The Harris Air beaver approaching the dock with a load full of Hardmans and other goodies.
Securing the airplane to our float.
Scott is first off, putting his Xtra-tuffs to good use.
Ready for some holiday cheer!
They look happy to be here!
A welcome lunch of the classic Price family meal, "Frito-Bake".
Out in the bay to see what's around.
Ice turned us back in Schooner Cove.
This was just before it started snowing.....and the last time anybody smiled until we got back to the lodge!
Jen and Pattei taking a quick break from their walk to sample some See's candy (another Price family tradition).
Being one with the La Cañada Rose Parade float.
Price usually has to make his way to the dock for his Polar Bear plunge through the ice, but this year there was only rain.
Ready
Good launch
Good entry
The face tells you how cold that water is!
Usually we have to snowshoe this trail up to Baranof Lake.
Made it!

At the Baranof townsite boardwalk--that's frost, not snow on the ground.
Flying back to civilization.
