Course Description:

'' Adrift between Asia and North America, isolated by oceans and immense distances, rivaling Europe in its scale, complete with its own flora, fauna, and unique personalities, it’s not difficult to think of Alaska as an eighth continent, the lost continent of North America; a world we’ve never known, alive with animals, mythical in its proportions and in architecture of its landscape. As the bumper stickers around Juneau say, "After you’ve seen Alaska, everything else looks like Texas."

Sea kayaks permit a unique intimacy with the sea. Only a kayak will take you silently slipping in and out of the numberless bays, bights, and crannies of the southeastern Alaska coast, where barnacles feed, sea otters float on their backs cracking mussels, seals sun themselves on icebergs, and whales breach between the islands.

The first part of the trip begins in Arizona where we will then fly into Juneau, Alaska. We will put in at Glacier Bay in Gustavus. Here the architecture of the Ice Age, sprawling down from 6,000-foot summits lost in cloud and earth alike, then recedes to let the sea rush in where killer whales, humpbacks, seal and otters, gather around a kayak and lead it for miles.
