Kakwik is Launched!

It wasn't a pretty day particularly, or a warm day, but there they were in Whittier, Brian and Carl, finishing the bottom paint and launching the boat, leaks and all!  You can look up Whittier for some pretty interesting information, and we've probably told you before, you drive through a 3 mile railroad tunnel, one way traffic (you have to go through on the 1/2 hour from one direction and the hour from the other), to get there.

It was really windy, so they weren't able to move it to the "real dock."  It went from being windy to very nice and back to windy - it happens to be one of the rainiest spots on Prince William Sound, though it hasn't really rained at all in Anchorage in months, save a few drops a week ago or so.  There was some orchestrating to do, as anyone who has ever owned a boat knows, but all was well after a long day.

Too windy to go out and pick up the shrimp pots though -- had to settle for turkey and leftover risotto and asparagus for dinner!  The mountains around this harbor are breathtaking, and you've seen pictures of Prince William Sound on this website too - check out the side pictures!  Hope we get a few trips in on Kakwik before we leave to go out east!
