Umak, 7/18/08, by Bob

We sailed out of Adak harbor to Kagalaska Strait. That's a narrow strait southeast of Adak. If you hit it at the right times, you can enjoy a current of over 5 knots and some whitewater. We timed it for the calm period and went about 3/4 of the way through the strait and back out to the north. Then we headed east to Umak Island and anchored at just about dark.
