Kalekta Bay
August 18, 2009
Well sort of. An un-named cove inside Kalekta. Last weekend the weather was great and the water calm so I decided to take the boat out of a long distance run of sorts. I called Aura who is always up for an adventure to let her know I was planning on a run towards Kalekta Bay. She was in. We met up at the hotel, dragged the boat to the launch and headed out. We stopped first at Constantine Bay, then north to Princess Head and Priest Rock at Cape Kalekta then in the Kalekta Bay. Looking for a place to take a break we found this cool little cove on the east side of the bay.
Aura was able to get out and explore a little bit and reported to me how great the place was. I’ll admit now ~ it is pretty cool.
Yesterday we decided to return to the cove to explore some more. This time we brought another anchor and our diving drysuits so we could anchor in the calm of the bay, then slip in to the water and wade ashore. We spent two hours exploring the cove and the green valley behind it.
You can see more images from the adventure in the photo gallery.

Thanks for another high seas adventure! Akutan here we come!!
Great pictures in the photo gallery. By the way, when do you plan to tackle your next adventure trekking around the island? Next summer? The picture of the moss covered log with the mini-waterfalls is my favorite .
Hi Diane, I’m glad you like the pictures. I am leaving for the SW tip of Unalaska Island in just under two weeks. My plan is to start trekking the last weekend of August and with a little luck be walking in to town around the 13th and 15th of September.
