Isn't it amazing how 18 months can fly by without a blog post??? Actually, we don't really have much worth sharing until we get here to the lodge. For anybody new to the blog, Jen and I caretake here in Warm Springs Bay, Alaska every other winter at the Baranof Wilderness Lodge. We spend 7 months here and will head back to Sitka next May.
Baranof Wilderness Lodge, our home for seven months this winter!
Not a bad view from the deck!
Feral and I came around from Sitka in mid-October. Our friend John Little lets us use his 35 foot trawler, Prime Time. We actually ran into weather and had to spend an unscheduled overnight in Peril Strait--the first time we haven't made our lodge run in one day. Pay no attention to the mystery logger in the foreground.
I was able to balance out the trim on Prime Time with 400 pounds of kitty litter!
Feral wasn't too happy with the rough seas! She was ready for any eventuality!
Jennifer flew over a few weeks later. She had some training to do on the Airbus that prevented her from coming over on the boat. Unfortunately, she was delayed an additional five days after the training because of mechanical problems with the float plane and then bad weather.

One of Jen's first projects was to put up our boardwalk lights...turning darkness to light!
Feral is happy to be settled in at the lodge. We're hoping she'll come out of her lampshade one of these days!
Feral is still going strong! How old is she? Still hope to visit someday.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary--of course--Feral is only a teenager at 15!!!! Stop by if you get up this way!
