Three weeks from today, and the DeHaviland Beaver will be dumping us at the cabin. So far, only a one glitch, but a pretty big glitch.
Seems the new law guy in SE AK has decided that delivery of a rented skiff constitutes guiding/outfitting, so the guy I rented from last year cannot deliver the skiff to the cabin. Seems I have to go somewhere else to meet him, then take the "ship of fools" across Sumner Straits, which for anyone who has fished that part of SE AK, knows it is pretty big water for a 15' or 17' skiff. In fact, really big water.
Fortunately, Gary, the guy who I rent from has offered he would ride across the straits with me. Evidently he feels is is best for two guys to go down with the ship, than just one .
That adds a big complication, as now I have to take a plane to Pt. Baker to get the skiff, while Joe and Troy head to the cabin in a separate plane. I will meet them there with the skiff, assuming a tsunami doesn't hit on my way.
Oh well, it wouldn't be an adventure, without some adventure.
Fairly ballsy taking a wee lil boat across Sumner. Doable, but I doubt it's much fun. Hope the weather is nice
Why not one plane? And just drop them off and head to baker, the cabin isn't that far out of the way.
So whats the difference between dropping the skiff off at Pt.baker and not Devils elbow,How is that not considerd guiding/outfitting?Three weeks from today, and the DeHaviland Beaver will be dumping us at the cabin. So far, only a one glitch, but a pretty big glitch.

Hope you are already at your cabin, as it's about to get ugly out there. Welcome to SE AK.. You'll see some weather this trip!
Mrs. Fin was putting her foot down about me doing that trip without escort, so the bigger boat deal has salvaged the trip. Given the short-term weather forecast, it looks like she was justified in her demand.
