You’re welcome Trophy Hunter01,
Glad you made it back to terra firma.
I’ve been to Kodiak and Afognak islands multiple times, for deer and elk hunting plus fly fishing the many streams for salmon, char and steelhead.
And, I truly love that part of Alaska.
However as you noticed, the weather can suddenly turn dangerous, on extremely short notice around that general area.
In other words, I don’t blame you whatsoever for being on “high alert” during your boat ride out there.
During World War II, Alaska was invaded.
From the battles that ensued, the USA lost approximately the same number of aircraft and crew members to crashes in horrible weather, as from enemy efforts.
Presumably the other side also experienced similar losses due to the crazy weather.
That fight was out in The Aleutian Islands but, the weather around Kodiak can be almost as evil and unpredictable.
Cheers,
Velo Dog.
