A Passage to Puffin Island

Wanna go for a ride?
My Buddy Evan and I had been discussing a visit to Puffin Island for about a year or so but our schedules never matched up. Finally, last week he called me while I was at work and asked if I was interested in going. Sure! I'll just close the store and we'll go have some fun!! I said let's take my skiff. I hadn't cleaned it in a while and the barnacles were growing on it but I thought it would be ok...Well I was wrong!! As you can see in the photo my skiff needs some work so we went in Evan's nice heavy duty aluminum skiff. As you can see it was a beautiful September day as I was still able to wear shorts.

 Hello Scott. Great tips & gorgeous photos! I've always wanted to visit the beauty of Alaska. (I think the sea lions are snotty because their bodies get rid of the salt from the ocean that way...) Greetings from the desert / Jess :-)

 Ha! So you did not see any puffins? They were probably all on vacation on Fair Isle!! They are funny little birds (believe me!) Wonderful page, Scott!
