    Whales in Alaska

    Was bringing a 40' Catamaran from Whittier to Anchorage, there is a Pass behind some islands and this one is called "Mac Arthur Pass".

    Getting your feet stuck in the mud, or concrete

    Alaska's Devils Triangle...

    Ok of all the goofy shows that showcase Alaska, this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. They claim some 80,000 people have disappeared into this "void" since 1970 or so. It's worth watching it once like rubbernecking at a bad wreck along the road, this is part one of three on...
