Don't forget your toothbrush!


Check out the date...




Fish vertebrate in among the strewned nets...


Cork net float...


starting to warm up...i can almost taste the strawberries already



I don't think any of us were ready for all that sun...such a beautiful, refreshing day...



A large, rather oddly shaped log washed up onshore, underwater long enough for these little fellows to culture its surface...


Getting used to wearing a collar...


Otter Cove...Pscific Ocean...huge loud waves...all sorts of stuff washed up on the beach...



the mainland in the background...(sentinel peak to the left)



Ikatan Bay
This area is known for its abundance of wild strawberries in late summer...and look! A tree!


One of a hand full of buildings still standing...nice to know that if the weather got too bad to travel, we'd have a place to stay the night somewhat out of the elements...



So hard to leave the skiff out of site...we packed the radio just incase...

A stellar sea lion that kept swimming back and forth...spraying mist about three feet high each time she serviced...both parties kept checking each other out as we made our way up the beach to hike over to otter cove...



You can see how the town of "False Pass" was named...Isanotski straight is directly in the middle....



Took a trip south, approximately four miles to Ikatan Penninsula, an abandoned cannery site. Here you can see the old pilings.


Ginormous cinnamon buns...we ate these three for days!
