Pos: 62.7238,-164.5526 Loc: Yukon Delta past Alakanuk Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 37,6 km Start: 06:15 End: 18:10 I paddled into the “Black Hole”, as Fylkir liked to name the Yukon Delta…it feels rather like a Pandora Box with many surprises, especially when the chart is not showing the reality. I made only a […]

Pos: 62.5352,-164.9880 Loc: Yukon Delta entry Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 58,7 km Start: 08:20 End: 18:10 I must admit yesterday’s second day off by myself mostly inside the tent became finally quite boring in the constant rain, despite e-book. I had a hard time to find a laying position on my pad, sitting […]

Pos: 62.1632,-165.6461 Loc: Melatolik Creek Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today I wrote the update for yesterday premature, assuming not much will be happening all day long. I decided to go out for a walk before I would cook some pancakes for dinner, got dressed in rain gear, warm clothes, and hiking poles, […]

Pos: 62.1632,-165.6461 Loc: Melatolik Creek Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today   I had to rest today, though the weather is not too bad with up to 20 knots following wind on calm seas upfront the mud banks. If I’d not have been stuck yesterday for two hours, and if I’d been paddling […]

Pos: 62.1632,-165.6461 Loc: Melatolik Creek Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 51,0 km Start: 06:00 End: 19:15 I woke early, the night’s rest was rather short. Too many thoughts…I needed to fill up fresh mountain water before I’d be heading again into mudflats land. My goal was to camp inside the tidal-irrelevant Melatolik Creek.   […]

Pos: 61.8211,-166.0328 Loc: behind Cape Romanzof Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 51,9 km Start: 09:15 End: 21:30 I am by myself again. Fylkir had a mental blockage and called it quits.   We paddled back to Hooper Bay, and with State Trooper Rob, our great friend, Fylkir found out a cargo flight for the […]

Pos: 61.5568,-166.1709 Loc: past Hooper Bay Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 5,56 km Start: 09:15 End: 10:40 Well, we gave it at least a try…we arrived at the beach with the tide going down, and the surf did not look too bad. State Trooper Rob was taking us back with his truck to the […]

Pos: 61.5196,-166.1520 Loc: Hooper Bay Acc: free room no paddling today The last day of our unwanted, but productive asylum in Hooper Bay. I’ve got a lot of office work done. Tomorrow we are leaving for The Yukon delta. It will take us three days to get there, Sunday we will be paddling along a […]

Pos: 61.5196,-166.1520 Loc: Hooper Bay Acc: free room no paddling today Another windy office day – at least I found a new program for creating nice slideshows for my shops out of my 1000ds of pictures – The FastStone Image Viewer. Works fine for random viewing!

Pos: 61.5196,-166.1520 Loc: Hooper Bay Acc: free room no paddling today Work as usual, but in the evening we went on another 4-wheeler ride, once more out to the tundra on this lovely logged-path we discovered the other day. Quite a lumpy ride later when the solid logs stop and some more or less solid […]
