A funny thing happened on our way to Alaska. We hit a detour and ended up in the far eastern reaches of France, involved in a fine and very different boating experience.

When we finally sailed Taleisin to her true home here at Kawau Island we were excited at the prospect of doing some land based exploring during the northern summers since Taleisin could be left through the southern winter on the safest mooring in New Zealand. Alaska was on top of our list of places we thought would be more fun to visit by road and possibly by a chartered power vessel since there is so little wind in the narrow tide ridden canals.
