Ulanah in SE Alaska
Back in January Matt the owner and captain of the Ulanah a 45 foot Ketch sailboat posted an ad on craigslist looking for a crew to sail from Unalaska (Dutch Harbor) to Russia and then down to Japan. I really didn’t have the time to offer myself for the entire trip but I was able to get a few weeks which would be long enough to sail down to Adak. We got together last week and came up with a plan that looks like it will work out well for everyone. I’ll sail for two weeks with him and his crew and when time permits we will get some diving in. It will give me a chance to learn more about sailing and to see if I’d like to pursue my plan to buy a live aboard boat myself. If all goes according to plan it looks like a departure date in the first week of June. It should not take two weeks to get to Adak but by taking it slow it will give him and the crew time get sorted out and comfortable with everything – and it will be one heck of an adventure!
Sounds fantastic Dan!
Very cool !!!
Yeah this is going to be a great trip. Matt is a good guy and his boat is in excellent shape. Besides the actual sailing the diving should be great fantastic and then there is Adak. I’ll definitely have this trip under adventures!
You never fail to amaze me son. Your dad and I actually considered buying a landing craft and living on it. Have a wonderful journey!
Hi Dan,
I may be interested to join your voyage (partially). Please get me in touch with Matt if possible. Thank you Yuri
Hey Yuri!
Good to hear from you, I’ll pass this information on to Matt. His boat is just down the way in the small boat harbor. I should see him tonight or tomorrow.
