Great Escape - we're off

to angoon in the morning (5:30 am to be exact). belly and i haven't been there in 6 weeks and it's been 8 months for bran. we're staying in kim's cabin on the beach overlooking the strait. with no electricity and no toilet should be interesting to see how belly reacts. there is running water from the rain water collection, at least that so i can wash off her face and hands occasionally. albeit it will be freezing cold. maybe we'll get crazy and fill the tub on the deck a few days before we use it and let the sun warm it up.
time to finish packing the gear.
hope the fish are biting. and if the weather is nice belly will take her first boat trip to the fishing grounds. she will see the family fishing holes. i hope the water is calm because nothing beats being on a boat in the summer. whales feeding, eagles soaring overhead, herring slapping the water, sea lions barking, gulls landing and of course the mountains as a backdrop. simply breathtaking every time. not to mention i am so in the mood for some fresh halibut and salmon. it's been too long.
