That sounds like an incredible journey. I never made it myself, but crossing Queen Charlotte Sound on the ferry was adventure enough for me.

I'm a real wimp when it comes to seasick. My brother, son, father and I went salmon fishing out of Westport one time. The swells were, well, swells. Up and down. Up and down. When we hit the fishing grounds, I fished for a few minutes, but presently I was so sick I wanted to die. That's the sickest I have ever been. Everybody else fished. I just puked. And puked. And puked.

I got over seasickness, I think, when I got my own boat and spent a lot of time on the water. One day I passed a boat in tow. Everybody was beating a path back to port because the water was so rough, and the Coast Guard Auxiliary had picked this guy up with a dead engine.

By the time we got back to the harbor, one of the guys in the disabled boat was dead, washed overboard. Alaska will kill you without blinking an eye.
