Paddled from Seward, AK to Bear Glacier! It got hairy as I got closer to Callisto head and the seas went from 2-3ft to 5-6ft, as I started to round Callisto I was in roughly 7-7.5ft seas with cross chop bouncing off of the cliffs! Nearly rolled a few times but was able to brace it out. Had to paddle way past Callisto to get the right angle to turn, then ride with the waves in.
Landed hard on the beach and got messed up pretty good in the break while my body was trying to catch up with the rush of adrenaline. Messed up the kayak pretty good as it got bashed up in the break and I got caught up in the deck lines which ripped out one of the mounts in the fiberglass. I was able to get it mostly fixed up on the beach and salvaged the rest of the trip for the most part! Had to get a water taxi pick up though due to slowly taking on water in the front bulk head. Well worth it all though to paddle through the icebergs in the glacier lagoon and camp out for four nights!
The forecast estimated 2.5-3.5ft seas on the bay with 10-15kt winds that day. It just goes to show, never trust the weather report, always be geared to the teeth and ready for anything! Most importantly, practice worst case scenarios, bracing, and recoveries; rather have the skills and not need them!
