Like always we leave early morning from Elfin Cove so that we can arrive at the Hot springs and spend some time there before dark, we were here last year but we didn't really go completely into the west arm; this year however we wanted go further in.
Wie immer verlassen wir Elfin Cove in den frühen Morgenstunden, um noch bei Tageslicht an den Hot Springs anzukommen und Zeit dort zu verbringen. Letztes Jahr waren wir zwar schon hier, aber wir sind nicht wirklich vollständig in den West Arm vorgedrungen. Dieses Jahr jedoch wollten wir weiter hinein.
This is Alaska... l didn't realize how good this shot was until l opened it with my computer, what do you think about this? Wanna come for a holiday haha?
Das ist Alaska... Ich hatte keine Ahnung, wie gut diese Aufnahme war, bis ich sie auf meinem Computer geöffnet habe. Was haltet ihr davon? Lust, mal Urlaub zu machen, haha?
It wasn't easy l can tell you that much...
We didn't realize that we came in on full low-tide, our depth meter starting beeping as it was getting way too shallow - we decided to drop the dingy and check the way again to double check that we would make it. This was the part where we thought that we couldn't go through...

It was a good choice that we got our dingy down and checked the depth manually, our mistake was that we were too far to the right and had to hug the left side.
Es war eine gute Entscheidung, dass wir unser Beiboot zu Wasser gelassen und die Wassertiefe manuell überprüft haben. Unser Fehler war, dass wir zu weit rechts lagen und uns eng links
halten mussten.
Just to imagine, our boat is 6.5 meters wide and this channel is maybe around 10 meters wide which leaves less than 2 meters meters on each side, is it worth risk? YES!
Um es euch vorzustellen: Unser Boot ist 6,5 Meter breit und dieser Kanal ist vielleicht 10 Meter breit – das lässt weniger als 2 Meter auf jeder Seite. Ist das Risiko es wert? JA!
Now it was time to head for the Hot Springs, as we had everything ready and we were about to hop into the dingy - out of nowhere came out two cubs and a huge mama bear, they heard us but l still managed to get some sort of a shot...
Jetzt ging es endlich zu den Hot Springs – wir hatten alles fertig und wollten gerade ins Beiboot steigen, als aus dem Nichts zwei Jungtiere und eine riesige Bärenmama auftauchten. Sie haben uns gehört, aber ich habe trotzdem noch irgendwie eine Aufnahme hingekriegt...
We saw them for about 10 minutes and then saw them again whilst we were driving to the start of the trail.
Wir sahen sie etwa 10 Minuten lang und trafen sie dann noch einmal, als wir zum Start des Wanderwegs fuhren.
The start of the trail was marked with a little sign hidden by some branches...
Der Anfang des Weges war mit einem kleinen Schild markiert, das von einigen Ästen verdeckt war...
Me and my brother were specifically happy about going to the hot spring as we had to fix the toilet and it was quite messy - but we were happy to be clean very soon!
Mein Bruder und ich waren besonders froh, zu den Hot Springs zu gehen, nachdem wir die Toilette repariert hatten – und das war eine ziemlich schmutzige Angelegenheit! Aber wir freuten uns schon darauf, bald wieder sauber zu sein!
As l mentioned in my other blog yesterday, Alaska's land is mushy and muddy but what makes it even worse is the wood which is used for the trail - overtime it gets so slippery that it's better just to stay off the trail sometimes.
Wie ich gestern in meinem anderen Blog bereits erwähnt habe, ist der Boden in Alaska matschig und schlammig. Noch schlimmer wird es jedoch durch das Holz, das für den Weg verwendet wird – mit der Zeit wird es so rutschig, dass es manchmal besser ist, einfach nicht auf dem Weg zu bleiben.
Und nun zum Foto, das alle übertrifft / das alles in den Schatten stellt:
Which photo did you enjoy most?
