If all goes well, I will travel from
Akutan to
False Pass via the
Alaska Marine Highway System on the MV Tustamena. Below is a photo I took of the ship when it came into Akutan 2 Saturdays ago. My trip to False Pass will be this coming Saturday, 5/28 departing at 0545am heading West and arriving at Dutch Harbor at 0915am. The ferry docks there for the day departing at 1600pm then heads back East back to Akutan for an hour before proceeding to False Pass arriving on Sunday around 0645am. That will give me the day in Dutch Harbor to do some shopping and have lunch which will be nice. I've never been on a ship like this so I'm really looking forward to this experience. I will be in False Pass for 2 weeks then will head to
King Cove for 2 weeks before I go home for my R&R. I anticipate being able to take some decent photos on the ferry of marine wildlife then I should have plenty of time at my next 2 destinations for more photos. This will be my first time in False Pass and King Cove, adding to the long list of Alaska communities I've been to. I still hope to get back to Adak at the end of July or August as well. Gotta love Spring and Summer in Alaska!
