To file under shit happens: My guy had a small accident with the boat. Unfortunately, no-one in Sitka does that kind of fiberglass work.

It will be off to Wrangell once he's sure the boat can make it. Maybe an emergency patch to get him there.

It's NOT taking on water, he made the 2 hour run in last night just fine so that is huge.

Things can always be worse.

6:00AM: 43F, woke up to rain.

Still expecting rain today, tomorrow, then heavy rain Thursday. We have a large system hitting the panhandle and Sitka will get a big share of that.

SE40kt gale tonight - no fishing for John!

Attached is a pic of a lovely, super bright rainbow last night.

No rainbows without rain!

Hey! NWS says Sitka broke our high temp record yesterday!

We hit 65 - old record 61 set in 2021. Yakutat also set a record - 64/60.

The thing I notice is that the old record was so recent. No bueno.

6:15AM: 38F, overcast.

It always seems that tourists have chancy weather if they come early (April) or late (Sept.)

Seriously, do NOT coming in Sept/Oct - you're just asking for a gale then!

I felt bad for the ones slogging through the falling slush yesterday.

In other news, we already have a huge controversy re: tourists and it was only the first day.

Buckle up, Buttercups! Gonna be a long summer.

Whale watching 2 years ago. The scenery was, as always, breathtaking.

On April 1, 1974, Porky Bickar of Sitka faked the eruption of Mount Edgecumbe with burning tires, tricking residents & Coast Guard.

This was a sunset last year that is remarkably the same as the sunset last night.

I love the liquid gold/bronze in the sky and in the ocean.

6:30AM: 44F, overcast.

Cloudy today, into tomorrow and then....

"Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo

Here comes the sun

And I say, it's alright

Little darlin', it's been a long, cold, lonely winter

Little darlin', it feels like years since it's been here"

Doffing my cap to all you sun-lovers out there - this is your time to...

Shine!

Irrtum! is a German language exploring the sonic vastnesses of the underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard all over the genre spectrum from all over the world. Btw.: Forget about that German language aspect - it's all about the music… as in:

But can you withstand the genre jumping overdoze?
This time the Fediverse is represented via one track by , which is the most talented @oleksiy !
Also lots of powa female energy in it! And... tape machines!
On top of that thanks to @mistfunk for raising my attention towards @pixelblip (not active here anymore unfortunately) so I could inject his animated art into my video teaser (see below!).
As always I'll post playlist and manuscript later here (provided I’m at home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions about the music – I'll gladly answer! Just ask!

C U all tonight! :)

Der Underground hat angeklopft und will seine Bandschleifen zurück! Oder Bandschleichen. Was weiß denn ich?
Jedenfalls — 1 Monat is rum, Radio Irrtum! ist wieder da! Und zwar Samstag Abend, 20 Uhr über Alex Berlin auf FM 91MHz/DAB+ Ch.7D (Stream URL oben).

  • Leicht verdaulicher IDM Pop
  • seltsame Nujazz
  • Bass mit echten Drums & überhaupt: Weirdes Zeugs
  • TechKraut
  • Bandschleifen, vlt. auch Bandschleichen
  • Verträumte Elektronik
  • Hardcore
  • Alternativ-Rock
  • eingebildete Filmmusik
  • bluesy Liedermacherei

Bis denne… vielleicht ;)

6:00AM: 44F, cloudy.

We're bracing for that "plume of moisture" that's coming. Our special weather statement extends into NEXT Tuesday.

A week of rain, heavy at times.

Bring it!

6:46AM: 18F and clouds are coming! Enjoy this last day of sun.

There is a special weather statement for the SE regarding the possible snow, but...

Alas, poor Yakutat has once again got a weather warning of snow all to itself. Dang, that little town gets hammered constantly!

6:00AM: 15F, clear skies.

Another sunny day in paradise. Well, paradise if you can afford to live here, but that's for another post. 😉 😆

I put on my cleats and braved Totem Park. Long stretches of clear gravel punctuated by sneaky, slippery spots. I can't afford to fall, so it will be cleats again today!

We did meet up with a heron, who did not need cleats.

Clouds are very good for very good sunrise pics.
