    One thing you can say is you never get bored. The helicopter ride gives you a nice view. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for sharing.

      It was my first time taking a chopper from the island. Cool seeing it from the air.

    Hello friends. Watching the helicopter ride reminds me of my last few weeks living on the island. I had to make a few solo nights out there in February to winterize the cabin. All I could think about was how great the mountains looked! Everything was covered in pure white snow, the air was cold and calm, the waters looked like glass reflections of peacefullness. After I landed and the pilot departed, I sat on that island beach alone in the snow, all I could hear was my own heart beating and sadness setting in as I knew it was coming to an end. Thanks for the memories Brian and Diana.

    Good to see you again life is just a endless Adventure I love the Helicopter ride reminds me of my first 18 years in Alaska in the National Guard flying all over Alaska in Helicopters for 18 years and getting Paid, Kodiak to Nunivak island, Scammon Bay, Nome to Red Dog mine., all acroos the Brooks range Artic village Venetie, Northway all the southeast Coastal water but the most interesting was Lituya Bay. O I for got the 2 weeks we stayed on Annette island to training living in 10 Man Tent at the old ww2 Airstrip. That was back in the days are mission was to protect Alaska from invasion by other Country's. It was a differant time. I love to see your new Boat ing Action. Thank you both again.

    Hi Diane and Brian. As the saying goes, “never a dull moment😮”. You both are your mum’s life line. That helicopter ride was just beautiful, a bird’s eye view of part of your island. Did see the mother whale and her calf. I often wondered how you got to the shore once you’ve moored the boat. Now I know 😊. It was a calm and beautiful day. Thanks for sharing, 🇦🇺 fan.

    I don't think I'd be able to get into the kayak so gracefully. I would be in the water at some point. I just recently (a month ago) saw a AK (I think) Mountain Men show where the guy in AK has the flip down wheels on his boat. His boat seemed a little small for rougher water but what a useful thing to have on a boat. He could drive the boat right up on the shore. Side note- Bromelain from Pineapples is good for getting rid of the spikey harmful things related to the thing they want to get into everyone. Taken on a empty stomach it gets into the bloodstream and gets rid of the bad things. Just saying.
