Aquarium
by grahampeters on Thu Jul 08 14:02:07 PDT 2004
G'day The aquarium is cool but for real style, check out the Sea Otters all around the coast around Monterey and right down to San Luis Obispo. I recall one very relaxed otter right in the boat harbour at Monterey, kicked back with a clam on his tummy delicately opening it with the rock taken from the pouch under his forearm. Now there's an animal who knows how to live! http://www.mbayaq.org/efc/efc_fo/fo_ottr_cam.asp Cheers Graham
Just returned from road trip to Alaska (from Seattle)

I will provide more detail in the near future, but I drove approximately 4500 miles with one passenger and about 150 lbs of luggage (total of 550 lbs). We drove to Dawson Creek, BC and took the Alaska Highway all the way to Delta Junction, AK. Then we drove on to Fairbanks, Denali, Anchorage, Seward, and Haines. From Haines we took the Alaskan Ferry to Juneau where I added a few more miles. The Prius (2006 package 8) then got a well-deserved rest on the ferry back to Bellingham, WA. For the most part, I pushed the vehicle fairly hard -- keeping it in cruise at 55/60/65 (100/90/80 kph in Canada) as posted. Of course there were a few bumpy stretches where I had to slow down, and a few construction areas with loose gravel where I did 20/30 mph. My overall mileage (per computer) was 48.6 before I started the trip (2500 miles on odometer), it now says 49.9. So I averaged over 50 mpg. I still need to compute mpg based on fillups. While the Alcan is mostly paved, it is far from being a good highway. Maybe 30% very good, 40% bumpy, 29 % rough, and 1% with long stretches of loose gravel in construction zones. I've got a few rock chips in the hood, just above the 3M clear-bra line. One bad one left a small dent, courtesy of an oncoming semi that didn't feel the need to slow down much over a loose gravel stretch. While the 3M bra certainly prevented a lot of chips, I would recommend to anyone considering a purchase to ask their installer to cover as much of the hood as possible. I have 4 or 5 small chips just above the line (some prior to the trip), and a couple just below the line (prior to installation of clear bra). Oh, the trip was GREAT!!! Saw tons of wildlife (eagles, puffins, black bears, brown bears, moose, caribou, buffalo, Dall sheep, wolves, humpback whales, orcas, seals and otters) and numerous glaciers. One last thing....I purchased the Monster iCarCharger for my iPod nano just before the trip. It works great (no feedback loop). I loaded most (AAC format) of my CD collection onto the iPod the night before the trip. I put the iPod into album shuffle mode. When I turned the car off, all I had to do was hit play after restarting and the iPod picked up where it left off. Never repeated a song (except the ones that occurred on more than one album). There were some long stretches with no radio stations, so the iPod came in quite handy. One sour note -- no navigation data for Alaska. I guess GPS satellite data can't be picked up very well that far north, so Toyota (and I think all of other manufacturers) didn't bother to load Alaska map data into the car. Now in reality, I was getting some GPS data in southern Alaska, but I only checked it a couple of times. It seemed to work for the most part in the Yukon on the Alcan, so I think it would work to some degree in southern Alaska. The Toyota dealership said there are supposed to be new satellites next year that will allow GPS to work in Alaska, at which time one could load map data for Alaska. BTW, I liked the Toyota dealership in Fairbanks, but they forgot to make adjustments in air pressure on the tires after rotation. I didn't discover this until I reached Seward.
Joe re pakboat
by stabbur on Tue Aug 08 23:18:31 PDT 2000
Joe, try pakboats.com. The pakboat is an aluminum frame that is in short segments tied together with shockcord like high quality backpackers tents. This frame is assembled inside a heavy duty vinyl covered polyester hull that has a neoprene foam bottom with a very heavy layer of vinyl on the exterior surface. The thing that separates the packboat from the rest of somewhat similar boats is a three chambered air bag in each sidewall. When the thing is assembled, these airbags are inflated which stretches the hull very tightly over the frame. This is the problem that other similar canoes have had - cannot be tightened. Also, the competing canoes tend to float upside down when swamped because the flotation is in the bottom rather than up the sides. Because the inflation of the bags can be adjusted, the boats can be made tight or loose depending upon what one is doing. Loose for big waves, tight for lake travel. The boats are made by a friend of ours in Enfield, NH. Four years ago we and some friends went with him to try out prototypes of the 17 foot model on three rivers in the far north of Norway and Finland, 200 miles north of the arctic circle. These were most difficult rivers, high water, big rapids and the sharpest rocks I have ever canoed in. In summary, we destroyed the hulls by the end of the trip. Since then they have been re engineered and are now much improved. Ours is two years old now and has been on some tough rivers and the hull looks nearly new. We own 9 canoes of various types and the pakboat is the best we have for really big rapids. This is because it flexes like a white water raft instead of burying itself in the big stuff. It is also good if you are flying in to start your trip since it goes inside the plane rather than tying on the outside. For instance, the Twin Otter can carry 8 people and four pakboats inside instead of six people and three standard canoes inside with a resulting reduction in cost per person. They cost as much as a premium canoe (the high end Mad River canoes for instance). As you probably know, the less a canoe weighs, the more expensive it is. The 17 foot pakboat weighs 50 pounds vs. the 70-80 pounds for a less expensive boat.I miss my nice wood trim and solid bottom of my standard canoes when I'm in the pakboat. On the other hand it will do some things an ordinary canoe cannot. Each year the company makes changes on the basis of user input and I will be suggesting a couple of improvements that will help make them even better on the basis of our experience on the Green and Payette this June/July. A 15 foot pakboat was paddled by one of our paddling aquaintences through the Grand Canyon and came through that just fine. She is a much better paddler than we are, though. If you are interested in flatwater, or easy rapids, pakboat has a nice lower end model now that is a bit more comfortable, but is incapable of the really big stuff. The website, I think, still shows a video of one of the Norway rapids I mention above. They fit into a duffle bag (that could be better made) and fit just fine behind the seat in our quad cab Dodge. Good luck with your decision.
