We’ve been scheming for years to do a combo kayak/ski trip. This definitely seemed like the year to do it with the colossol amount of snow we still have. And the good news is my ski boots fit perfectly in a 20 liter dry bag in my back hatch!
The crew. Eva, Dan, and Sabrina dorking it up.
We headed out in the rain Friday for what I expected to be another soggy weekend in Prince William Sound. Luckily, I was wrong, and the gloom and doom clouds and rain turned into another amazing (and mostly sunny!) weekend in PWS. 🙂
Cool ice in front of the Beloit Glacier.
Sabrina is all smiles with the change in the weather.
Sabrina skiing the summer snow, which suprisingly was pretty good.
This was our compromise to getting two pairs of skis on the tandem. We put my skis up front and Sabrina’s skis in the middle. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get her skis on back without them interferring with the rudder. Luckily, it wasn’t too long of a paddle from 17 mile beach to where we skiied.
We lucked out with calm waters in Blackstone. It wasn’t until we got close to Decision Point that we got a little bit of wind, but the waves and chop really picked up. It seemed like waves were coming from about five directions. We camped at Squirrel Cove and the next morning woke up to sunny skies and calm waters in Passage Canal.
On our way back to Whittier, Dan sneaking in a beer while Eva paddles. Pure winning! 🙂
