Today started rather slow in our amazing retreat away from the civilized world. After our breakfast and lil chill time we packed our sandwiches and headed in our kayaks to the mouth of Sadie Cove. It was about 5 miles one way and it took us about one and half hour to get there. Willie told us there was a trailhead right at the mouth so we started crawling through the thick underbrush trying to find the trail the Alaskan way.
Eventually the boys were able to sniff it out and we started a mad rush up the hill through what looked like Jurassic Park. The speed picked up even more once we saw the ten pound scat on the trail. Unfortunately, for Chris I was lil scared of the lurking grizzlies so after an hour march through the jungle we made him turn around and go back down to our boats. He wasn’t too happy but Heather and I were relieved. On the way back we were able to catch the tide coming in and more or less surfed it back to the cabin. 
A few sea otters and soaring bold eagles kept us company on the way in. One salmon even attempted to commit a suicide by trying to jump into Skodas’ kayak. The fog finally lifted and we were able to see the beautiful mountains all around us. Not a bad view from the cabin.
