Sea Kayaking from Kodiak to Homer video
A very impressive video of a 250 mile solo kayak trip in Alaska.
Allow 30 minutes to watch this great video with lots of wild life.
“An 11-day, 250-mile solo paddle from Kodiak Island to the town of Homer on the Alaska mainland in July 2012. The crux of the trip was the 25-mile, open-water crossing from Shuyak (at the northern end of the Kodiak archipelago) to the Barren Islands, followed by another 25-mile, open-water crossing to the Chugach Islands on the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula.”
Even a few places I recall paddling past when we were in the Kenai area back in 2000 sea kayaking. However, we didn’t get such good conditions!
Enjoy.
