Great Sitkin Island, in the Aleutian Chain. |
Probably the same island, from another side. |
Neptune underway in Sweeper Cove, Adak, Alaska. |
Entering port, Adak. This was only 2 weeks or so after leaving Guam and the tropics, and most of us had colds! |
Ruins left behind from World War II. I later found out that Adak had a very definitive roll in halting the Japanese from entering North America by crossing the Aleutians. |

Ruins from WW II. |
Nothing Adak grew over a foot high! |
Adak waterfall, about 10 feet high. |
Un-ridden surf, on the western shore of Adak. July, and the water temp was about 38 degrees. |
A nice virgin curl, about 3-4 feet. However, only a "dry-suit" could protect you in this water! |
A nice drink from one of the many brooks on the island. |
The Ops guys, as we enter port at Adak, Alaska. |
Sunset over San Francisco as we enter port after a cruise. |
The epitome of a true "lifer" (as opposed to a "career sailor"): His tattoos tell the story. |
