The saddest pictures I have ever taken on the island. We spent some time with Rolf and Candy and they had just retrieved "Pip"
Pips Skull
Pip's Collar
On a positive note, it was a GREAT 2+ hours of conversation about the island, life, people and the planet in general. Plus, homemade brownies

Another from our recent trip (late August). We heard there was a big, bull moose on Gale Island, which is a small island located in Tobin Harbor. We paddled my two-person kayak to the island and found this handsome fellow chomping down on alder. He graciously posed for us. My ladyfriend was in front with her cellphone, I was in back, ready to backpaddle, if necessary. Not needed though, he showed little interest in us.
The "America." I took this about twenty years back while in my kayak. A serendipity photo. I knew I was above the "America" but couldn't clearly see the wreck due the the glare off the water. I stuck my Nikonos under water, pointed it where I though the wreck was, and took this picture.
Thoughts of Thanksgiving and sharing of a meal made be think of this time from the past summer. (I'll explain in a pending trip report)
Perhaps more rare than a wolf sighting, here is the Sea Hunter III and Voyageur II docked along side each other... In Rock Harbor.
