17 July 2018. Seward to Turnagain Arm.
We were very tired of the mud in Seward, so we decided to leave a day early. Just to spite us, the weather turned nice – so we caught some nice scenery shots on the way out of town!
And some more amazing wood carving art
Here is another example of odd rigs – we’ve seen a couple of these guys who carry their ‘drive around town’ electric cars like this:
We turned down a tiny road, and a guy came running out – “do you have a tow rope?”, he asked. We did, and Chuck helped get him unstuck.
Decided to spend the night at Bird Point along the Turnagain Arm. One of the things this body of water is famous for is its “bore tide” – a wave sometimes six feet tall – that brings the tide into this channel. We determined that this was one of the days that was “good” to see it. Carefully researched the tide tables, did our calculations showing us that the bore tide was supposed to hit our area about 8pm. We sat by the water and watched from 745 until 915. But the low tide was too far out and we really couldn’t see anything. The bore tide was boring!
