    Default Alaskan sailing

    Check out these bear attack photos. My friends buddy sailed for Northland with seasonal trips up the Yukon and to the North Slope and sent these wonderful pictures of the hazards of camping in polar bear zones. Enjoy.

    Oh dear. Blech.

    I haven't felt this nauseous since I read Allwyn's post about letting the Chief Engineer be in charge of the ship.

    Glad I'm feeling crappy today. If I felt good I'd be out on the bike - where the bears are....Amazing how fast the furry buggers are when they're pissed off!
