In this episode, we experience the storm of our lives!
We started our journey in Valdez and sailed all the way to Cordova, a town with no outside road access. We learn about the incredibly rich history of this small fishing town, dating back to the first settlers here- The Eyak People.
We also meet up with an amazing native artist named Sylvia Lange, who shared her unique story with us.

Thanks for watching! Interested... What is your wildest weather experience? This was definitely ours...

Our wildest weather experience? Hurricane Katrina on our sailboat in the Everglades on the Little Shark River. 140 mph. No fun but we missed the eye by ten miles and fared better than those on land.

OMG! Can't even begin to imagine how terrifying that would have been. So sorry you had to go through that. Glad you are here to tell the tale. Thanks for checking out our channel and fair winds!

Great footage of the boat at the dock during the squall. Weather is part of the package around here, and it helps build character, hahaha. Again, well done. You made it! I have too many stories of weather, alone, on the Gulf of Alaska or Prince William Sound. Anyway, thanks for making me uncomfortable and giving me far too much attention. Was, however, a delight to meet you, and look forward to seeing you somewhere on this planet again! Just celebrated my 70th BD, so the adventure continues into the unknown world of Elder! Onward! Sylvia

If you knew Will you would watch out with all those compliments! His head might swell and stop him from being able to fit down his companion way!! Haha kidding... they're incredible people and extremely humble and inspiring. We're fortunate to be able to call them friends 😊.

Cheers! We glad you like it! We are trying to avoid storms all the time but for an example this Christmas we were stuck in 3 day storm! It wasn't fun. But then you appreciate sunny days like never before;)
