Double Digits -- Finally!

We were delighted to find that it was finally above 10 degrees today for skiing - well, it was 11 degrees!  We've been kind of lazy, finally tiring of the 0 and below weather and having a hard time pushing ourselves out the door!  This was also supposed to be a big activity time for the Northern Lights, and Friday night, as it was perfectly clear, we stayed up really late, drove several miles north til it was really dark, and parked for awhile, hoping they would appear -- but, no such luck!  Now it's overcast and snowing again, so we won't see anything tonight.

Today we went back to the Campbell Airstrip Park and skied on groomed trails again - we haven't skate skied in a week or maybe even two!  It snowed the whole time, and probably an inch and a half or more just while we were skiing.  Then home to turkey soup and turkey sandwiches on Judy's first time sourdough biscuits!  (We should have taken a picture of THEM!)

IMPORTANT BOAT PICTURES -- Brian is now a co-owner of another boat, a 30 foot Sundowner Tug on Prince William Sound named Kakwik.

Pictures of the inside:

Brian and Carl are working on the engine which needs repairs now, but hopes are to have it on the water come April (or May) in time for shrimping!  This is a boat with a LOT of room, plenty of sleeping room for 4, and lots of wonderful little bays to explore -- more than we could ever get to!  Not the kind of water you would jump into even mid-summer (glaciers too!) but drop dead gorgeous, and you travel with lots of sea life -- otters, seals, sea lions, porpoises and even whales!

We'll be traveling back east for Judy's son's wedding in less than 2 weeks, weather willing!
