For a quick escape into the wilder, wilderness of Alaska aboard the ‘speed demon’ Audrey Eleanor takes approximately 2 hours and is roughly 30 K. We love to cruise behind Sullivan Island, south of Haines, Alaska and swing on the hook for few days of solitude.
The warmth of friends who came along for the ride enhances memories of these excursions; they were all shanghaied as willing crews. David brought his guitar and sang ballads about the Yukon and Northern B.C. that he had written himself. My favourite is still the one about being “up behind the mine in Faro,” where’s the C.D. David?
On this particular trip we have a large stash of fireworks aboard. Shooting off fireworks in the Northern summer has always been a bit of a conundrum to me. I think the fireworks that we shoot off on July 01 could be saved for the winter so that we can actually see them. Fireworks are visual; it is supposed to visual is it not? The venue changes if you are sitting in a harbour that is encased in huge snow capped mountains. These create a perfect backdrop and reflector of sound, these mammoth stonewalls create the perfect platform for an echo, an echo, an echo, echo.
