I kept having people ask about “land sickness” and if we had experienced it yet since returning to Homeport.

Behind it is an icefield that is 90 miles long and 40 miles wide which feeds the ocean with fresh water from 40 large valley glaciers and 100 smaller ones. Water that is vital to the health of chinook, coho, chum, and pink salmon species, which in turn nurture a vast concentration of coastal brown bears and black bears, who also feed on abundant Sitka blacktail deer, grasses, and berries.

Touring with the Tribe in Tahiti

September 5, 2025 No Comments

I’ve been sailing with Frank for a dozen years. In that time, we’ve cruised in many parts of the world together and he’s brought various family members along, but never the whole clan, not until now.
