Liz came to visit a couple of weeks ago and it was a blast. We could not have asked for better weather. Every day she was here the skies were clear and sunny. Her visit was filled with trips to the beach, ziplining, and floatplane rides. The day after she left the rains came and the temperature dropped. Autumn arrived...
The rain let up on Friday and Saturday which allowed for an incredible camping trip. We loaded up the kayaks and kayaked the 1 1/2 hours to a tiny island off the tip of Gravina Island. We set up camp and the boys started a bonfire. The wind was whipping across the island, which helped the fire grow. Everyone huddled around to keep warm while we cooked salmon, halibut, and potatoes. Nothing is better than fish cooked over an open fire.
The next morning we awoke to a partly cloudy sky. The sun was shining through every chance it got. We started the bonfire again and spent half the day skipping rocks, laying in the sun, and eating watermelon. As late afternoon rolled around and everyone got hungry again we repacked the kayaks and kayaked back to North Point Higgins. We all feasted on a meal fit for kings at Dockside then went home and to bed.
The rain picked up again the next day and has not let up since...
