Take The Road Less Traveled
Historic George Inlet Cannery is one of the best-kept secrets of Southeast Alaska, where you can experience life as a shanghai'd Chinese worker living on opium rations in trade for hard labor and shelter. Fish pirates infested these waters in the early 1900's and many a man lost his life protecting profit or livelihood. Now, Killer Whales stops by to see what's interrupting the quiet after half a century of abandoned silence. Settled in the heart of Alaska's rainforest, the adventure furthers itself by inviting you to take off from the cannery docks via floatplane to Misty Fiords. Majestic snowy crags leak showers of crystalline rainwater into the ocean, streaming from lakes formed in the natural basins at their feet. It's not uncommon to spot Mother Black Bear bringing her cubs for a drink, or a heard of Dahl mountain goats perched high on a cliff-side, stopping to watch the noisy plane pass by.

Gulf of Alaska Storms
Storms move out of the Gulf of Alaska into the Pacific Northwest with great regularity, as many as three or four per week during the height of the winter storm season. Winter Gulf of Alaska storms typically sport winds in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) with corresponding high waves. Some storms rival the strength of the great hurricanes/typhoons and would be considered as such if their origins were tropical rather than polar.
