Lovely afternoon sunshine always makes the spirits’ refresh
in Southeast Alaska. Today’s adventure was George Island where I quite enjoyed
myself on a crew hike. The shore
was covered with giant kelp tubes with the smell of the fresh forest. The island has quite the rich history
from World War II with a military gun emplacement left over from the war where
40 people lived there & protected Cross Sound from the Japanese
invasion. The trails were easy navigating
marked by rocky steps with spectacular views of the snow capped mountains in
the distance with the lush green vegetation with wildflowers such as the famous
“shooting star”. It was peaceful to watch the waves crash along the shore. Over all a fun filled afternoon with crew
unwinding & admiring the beauty.
