    This is one badass ferry, it was just completed right before we arrived down there.

    KETCHIKAN, Alaska (Aug. 07, 2009) The Office of Naval Research E-Craft, an experimental high-speed transformable hull form vessel, is under construction at Alaska Ship and Drydock in Ketchikan, Alaska. The E-Craft is scheduled for delivery in April 2010 and will provide the Navy with valuable data on the performance of this unique hull form in a challenging environment while serving as a ferry connecting Anchorage, Alaska, to the remote area of Port Mackenzie.

    “It’s an omnivore. It’s not optimized for any one task, but it has a wide range of tasks it can do, and that’s what makes it useful. It can work in deep seas, it can work in rough waters, it can break ice, it can work in shallow waters and go up to the beach. There’s no other ship in the world that can do that.” — Lew Madden, Ferry Co-inventor

    This was a hell of a big slug... more rainforest critters.

    A loaded barge arriving in Ketchikan from Seattle. This is how the vast majority of goods arrives to Alaska from the Lower 48.

    The airport is on the other side there, on an island. This island was to be connected to Ketchikan by a bridge about 5 miles to the left of this picture - the very controversial "Bridge to Nowhere". So everyone has to take a ferry to get to town from the airport.

    This next batch of pictures was taken in June on a job we did out of Yakutat.

    This pic was on top of a mountain next to a radio repeater site about 85 miles from Yakutat.

    The radio shelter we installed with the A-Star parked behind.

    Looking at the site from the beach - we needed to get to that uppermost peak in the clouds there. I think we nabbed 12 hours of overtime sitting on the beach, shooting icebergs with my co-worker's AR-10 waiting on the clouds to clear.

    A couple of young moose wandered by, my co-worker got fairly close with his camera.

    Icy Bay. The sound of hundreds of thousands of icebergs ramming each other in the water was something I'd never heard before.

    Me next to an iceberg that had washed up on the beach. Note the mosquito net hat... the bugs were bad out here and I was mighty happy to have that along.

    My other co-worker trying his hand at the Moses sea-parting. It didn't work, even with the nifty staff.

    Parked on the beach, waiting out the clouds.
