Boating in Bahia de Los Angeles

 We took the boat out on Saturday July 22nd 2023. We went snorkeling, fishing. No wakeboarding today. We didn't catch any fish. 



It's hard to see but there are two coyotes on the beach.




This is where we anchored and went snorkeling.

Sis joins the Polar Bear club

Image
 My Mom and cousin Dave came to Juneau so I took a day off. We cooked breakfast in the ambulance then hiked around Auk village. Sis decided to go swimming as she normally does. She did really well not to get her ears wet. Sis swimming or wading. After hiking we went to downtown Juneau. I have driven through but not walked around. I did my normal, bar hoping. You know me, I have to try the same beer at every bar!

51,000 feet

Image
 I took 618 our lear 40 up to 51,000 feet. That is the service ceiling of the plane. It is challenging to get the plane up there. I am close to a stall and over speed at the same time. Once I get there my fuel burn is around 430lbs a side vs 600 a side in the lower 40's. Incredible fuel savings. 51000! I've only been up there 3 or 4 times! I didn't get a picture outside because it was night time. But you can see the curvature of the earth or the edge of the earth depending on what you believe in!

The New Water Well

 The original water well on Twin Oaks farm was hand dug by Frank Eaton (AKA pistol Pete) and William Knipe who was one of the founders of Perkins, and a high school kid name unknown. Legend has it they left the kid down in the well while they went for lunch!  The original well is still there but is no longer operational. It always worked when I was a kid. Anyways fast forward about a hundred years and I decided if they could hand dig a well then I could too.  The drilling process. Removing dirt. A large pile of dirt! The casing down in the ground. Pouring concrete. Building the well house. The pump. I used old tin so it would match the shop. I installed a sink because the shop doesn't have water. The original well about 50 feet from the new well. It's not quite finished but I think it is going to produce about 800 gallons a day.
