Strange how my father-in-law likes this kind of weather when out in his 32' Pearson. He's not getting me out in that sailboat with this weather, though my 4 year old twins love it. Go figure.

Yea I was looking at your weather on the NOAA site yesterday, seems the whole west coast of Alaska was getting killed.

When I was in Seward fishing two years ago in June, it was 80 degrees everyday for two weeks, seas were calm for the run down resurrection bay to the Gulf of Alaska, and we limited out everyday, was a picture perfect vacation. AND not one day of rain in 14 days...was amazing!

You lucked out big time!! I am hoping it starts to clam down, it has been this way for the past month. I have fishing trips coming up next month, so it better shape up! :p

You should come up here and go diving sometime out of whittier. They put in a HUGE artificial reef about 5 years back, and it is awsome! A bunch of stuff you dont see down there in your "warm waters."

A bunch of my friends dive, and I am starting my cold water diving lessons in a few month. It is really spendy from the diving gear you need up here. A friend is setting me up with used gear for about $1000 including the lessons, and cert (no O2 tanks though). I will see if I can track down a few of my friends pictures and link them here. The reefs up here are more alive than anywhere else in the world from what I am told. Something to do with the over abundace of plankton in the water I think. Tons of eels, gobies, crabs (big and small), corals, anenomes, etc.
 
Here are a few links of pics that were taken out of Whittier:

If you decide to dive up here next time you come up, here is a good link with tions of information for cold water diving in alaska http://www.alaska.net/~surlyc/ACWD/links.html
http://www.divealaska.com/browser.php

And of course (since I am a Alaska nature photographer) my website will soon have underwater photos on it http://www.AlaskaStudio.com

I will try to get a hold of Chalie Sandberg. He is one of the best cold water dive photographers I have seen up here. He has some great pics. He is a pretty nice guy too. He is the one going to teach me. Up here we say if you can dive in Alaska, you can dive anywhere!

Hey!

Very cool stuff.

I used to live and work in northern California, up around Crescent City and the mouth of the Klamath River and the Requa Reservation.
Used to see deer, Elk, Bears, never *SAW* a cat but found signs of them.... remains of a deer carcasss etc....

some of the photos look like they would make killer wallpapers :)
