We met the most amazing couple Saturday night.
We had attended an event at the Chilkat Center. As we came out of the theater, I looked out the center window and saw what looked like an airplane going past. Later, as we drove toward Mud Bay, we overtook a massive vehicle, with a wild wave-themed paint job, and a small airplane fuselage grafted on top. It bristled with gear, including a kayak, and a motorcycle attached to the rear of the vehicle like a davitted dinghy of the stern of a yacht. It pulled off the road and allowed us to pass, then it drove past where we parked on Mud Bay.
We stood on the road with neighbors, watching a bear on the bay before crossing, when the strange vehicle pulled up behind us to ask what we were looking at. A very pleasant young couple climbed out and visited for a bit. We explained that we lived on the other side of the ridge. Soon we went our separate ways.
The next day I got a message on the Website email from a person who had seen one of my brother’s boat designs in Haines, and had traced it to our site. He said he’d like to meet us. As it turns out, he already had—he was the driver of the strange vehicle!
Skyhorse early on. Now it’s heavily loaded, and a good deal dirtier (swiped from their Website).
