July 17th-24th: Northwestern Lagoon, at the head of Harris Bay, is one of those special places left in the world that remains as remote as it is majestic. It's a destination only accessible by half-day boat ride around rocky capes and across open ocean waters. Few people get to witness its be... Comment - Like

The end of July spelled the beginning of rejuvenation for six adventurists from Japan. A small travel company brought their company owner and an outdoor chef that is renowned in Japan. All brought years of paddling experience to the cockpits of our new fiberglass boats. Audrey and I had a work... Comment - Like

Upon arriving in Seward, all the word was "the rain is coming...the rain is coming...are you prepared?" I have to admit, I was considering calling NASA to see what they use to stay dry. As it has turned out, the weather in Resurrection Bay has been warm and sunny, allowing Sunny Cove to stand up... Comment - Like

It's spring... snows melting, fiddle head ferns are sprouting, whales breeching and the cottonwoods blooming. Sunny Cove guides are busy training.
Guide training involves 10 days of intense activity. Kayak instruction skills is just one topic.
We also focus on natural history, getting acquainted ... Comment - Like

It's been an odd March in Seward. Most of the month has been cold and sunny with very little new snow. Skiers have found themselves ice skating, hiking, and paddling. We've taken advantage of the weather to do some combination paddle/hike trips up the drainage's along Resurrection Bay.

The rain didn't stop us from paddling. We just threw on our rain gear and headed down the coast! Audrey shows us the way...The next morning, we peered out of our tents to see the cl... Comment - Like

Ice and mist welcomed our second day of paddling in Aialik Bay. Holgate Glacier had been especially active during the night so the ice was thick.
Kat and I were excited to have Mark and Joan Strobel from Minnesota up for the third year of paddling.
It was a beautiful day on the water. We paddle... Comment - Like

As Spring approaches seasons blend. The mountains are still snow covered and choices for a days activity range from hiking to biking to skiing or paddling.
For this sunny day skiing Mt Marathon was the choice. We climbed into the bowl for some great turns on nearly perfect corn snow.

Seward hosts some great events in January including the annual Polar Bear fund raiser.
