Back in Akutan

well after a 2 year hiatus from travelling and living full time in Adak, I'm back on the road, err...air...and water.  I just arrived in Akutan last night and am scheduled to be here for 4 weeks, but schedules change so who really knows.  Getting to Akutan is always a challenge, getting out is ever more so.  Last time I was here I came by seaplane, a Grumman Goose.  Now its by hovercraft.  And the rumor is, by next month it will be by helicopter.  But this was my first experience on a hovercraft and I gotta say, it was quite impressive!  I didn't get a chance to take photos yesterday but was able to get a few shots today after I took my colleague to the ramp for his departure.
