Endicott Arm and Fords Terror is just one of those places. Valhalla probably looks a lot like this.

The carving shed in Hoonah is ine of our favorite places. Gorden and the other carvers are awesome storytellers in word and in wood.

Our very first lighted holiday paddle parade in Sitka was way fun and festive. Humble beginnings, but six craft endured the 13degF weather. Thank you Sitka Maritime Heritage Society for the warm post-paddle and refreshments, The USCG Paddle Safety Program, and those who came out to cheer us on..

Every once in a while you get to truly feel history. Usually a Park Ranger is involved. But a precious few times in a lifetime we are so fortunate as to stand in the footsteps of a culture-bearer who reached across time to touch our soul thousands of years ago.
