The only time I've been to Sitka (May, 1995), I arrived on Alaska Air, departed from the fuel dock on a friend's 65' longliner for Seward.

If one lives in Sitka, it is not a good idea to piss off Alaska Airlines. They, for the most part, hold the keys to the town.

Ferry? In the Aleutians? Not me, buddy. I'll leave that for the fools.

There is even an Ivan Doig novel depicting this adventure.
Yeah. But has anybody ever actually DONE it and lived to tell the tale?

The only thing is, you can pick your weather leaving but it can change faster than you can paddle.
You better believe it!
