February has been a busy month while we've been waiting for winter to show up. Our friend Chuck came up from Portand. He stopped in Juneau and Tenakee Springs before flying in to spend a couple of days with us.
Chuck coming in on the Harris Air's Cessna 185.
I never noticed how short the clearance is under the wing.....
Another Candid, Unposed Photo!
Kayaking over to Baranof Falls.
Pretty good water flow....
There was lots of foam coming out of the salt chuck with the tidal rapids.
The tide was too low for Chuck to get into the salt chuck, so we chucked the idea and headed out.
Back at the lodge dock the tide exposed some starfish and anemones.
Sunflower Stars--the fastest starfish in the ocean. There is a world-wide epidemic afflicting starfish, but the bay seems to be OK so far.
We had some big tides while Chuck was here, so we went out and got a few beach logs at high tide.
Securing the logs.
Adding to the wood supply.
Chuck gave moral support while I changed out a bad water heater element, under the cover of steam.
Hanging out on the deck before Chuck flew to Sitka for a visit with Blain and Mo at the Hilltop Hut.
The St. Lazaria stopped by for a surprise visit since they happened to be in the neighborhood.
We had a chance to catch up with Harold, Lizzy, and Kate.
We barely had time for all the activities....face jewelry, ballet lessons, and lunch!
Perfectly placed!
A cramped studio for ballet.
Kate has better balance than I do.
But I do a pretty swift dipptiy do dip. A strong finish under the watchful eye of the instructor!
