Join us while we travel on the Alaska Marine Highway from Kodiak to Homer. We take the Tustumena or better know to locals as the Trusty Tusty on an overnight trip via Ouzinkie and Port Lions. Enjoy the views, a brief tour of the ship and next week we will show you Homer and drive up the Anchorage. This video was filled in September 2020.

I have never been on Tustumena or on Kodiak, but sailed all over SE. I loved AMHS! So much more rewarding than cruises! Thank you for sharing.

You betcha, glad you enjoyed it! Every time Jen says she wants to go on a cruise, I remind her we take one or two of the best cruises to the mainland every hear 😎

I lived on Kodiak in 1977 and worked on a Crab boat it's a beautiful in the summer when the sun comes out.

The trusty tusty! I've been on her 3 times. Wow, she still looks the same after almost 40 years! Went to high school in Kodiak, my first time on her was in 1985, moving to Kodiak. Cool experience, got seasick, played pac man, you know that old chestnut.🤮🛳️🕹️

This brings back memories. We lived in Kodiak while my dad was stationed up there. I miss it so much. I thought it was called the Rusty Tusty xP

Awesome! Well, we still call her the “Rusty Tusty” but we’re sure glad she’s here!

Interesting! In May 1969, we rod the Trusty Tusty from California, where it had been modified with stabilizers, to Kodiak. We had exactly the same stateroom. Too bad you didn't show the interior of that room as it would have been fun to see how they changed the rooms. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

@Buoy4AK 2 жыл бұрын

That’s awesome! Bummer we didn’t think to include the stateroom (maybe if we wind up in it again 😉). Don’t know if you heard, but they’ve announced the Tusty will be retiring in the next few years, so we’re gonna try riding her as many times as we can before she’s taken out of service!

I’ve been to Homer but haven’t been To Kodiak yet. I’ve taken the Tustemena to Seldovia from Homer.

Well if you cut it down to one main road, get rid of most of the restaurants & tourist stuff, then increase the cost of everything about 50%, move expiration dates of anything perishable to within a few days either side of expiring, then finally make sure you can’t go anywhere without running into someone you know, you’ll pretty much have it 😎. Bigger than Seldovia, smaller than Homer. Thanks for watching ❤️

@@Buoy4AK I have been a facebook member of Kodiak Camera Club for three years, so know all about Buoy 4 ;) makes me laugh every time they catch someone out with it. Visited in August 2017 solo, inc Katmai, and last year wanted to bring Hubby - nope, was hoping for this year - nope !!! Even dubious for next year too. Oh well - one day, once fine day, I will be back. Loved the turntable on the ferry - WOW !. Will have a look at more of your videos - LOVE AK X

Hi Randy! Yep, it’s carried busses, tractors, timberjacks…. As long as it’s less-than 40’, it can haul it. Sporty, but it’ll do it.
