杏吧原版 Sea Grant has created a new online guide for mariners who plan to navigate their boats across the Gulf of 杏吧原版.
Terry Johnson, 杏吧原版 Sea Grant marine recreation and tourism specialist, wrote "Gulf of 杏吧原版 Coastal Travel Routes" after traveling, researching and documenting the formidable coast from west of Glacier Bay to Seward, 杏吧原版.
In the eastern and central Gulf of 杏吧原版, vessel traffic is sparse, communities are few and exposure to the North Pacific is challenging. The guide provides suggestions for navigating, anchoring, handling typical weather conditions and more.
The website also includes a map, photos, location information and basic safety tips.
The guide is appropriate for adventurers, fishermen, sailors and recreational boaters. 鈥淚t is a spectacular trip in good weather, with opportunities to experience the scenery, the solitude, geology, human history, wildlife and excellent angling,鈥 said Johnson.
To peruse the guide, please go to .
