The water temperature might be a tad cool ?

[ASOC]

Just a *bit* - I understand an unprotected (no poopie suit) human can live for almost 20 min in the water, if good medical aid is on scene. Makes me wonder how all the sailboats in the AO can stand to be below decks w/o the heater blasting away full bore.

The area itself is very beautiful.

With 13 feet (yes, feet) of rain per season the forest is very pretty. To garden well requires a greenhouse.

Nearby is the Misty Fjords Park (yet another huge section of Alaska tied up by the Feds) and just ‘around the corner’ Sitka offers both fantastic fishing and fantastic scenery.

I love living in Anchorage, it is such a short drive to Alaska.
