The Hover Craft arrives in KC!



THe 9 million dollar Hover Craft named Suunx (means boat) arrived in KC before in begins to take people to and from Cold Bay today. They broke the bottle on the boat and gave everyone a 15 min ride in the Harbor. We all got on and went for a ride. It was fast and pretty smooth riding. It takes a boat 2 1/2 hours to get from KC to Cold Bay and the Suunx takes 18 min. Holy! It will cost 70.00 one way, the small planes are 90.00. (and same amount of time) I am a little worried how it will ride in the high winds, since it hovers over the water. I guess well see! It holds an ambulance or a few four wheelers. Lars will be spending alot of time hunting in Cold Bay, watch out Ptarmigan!
