Report Time: 2:30 pm Friday Aug 5, 2005
Location: East Side Lynn Canal, Just South of Eldred Rock, Haines Alaska,
See: Google Map -- Eldred Rock is the tiny spec in the center of the map)
Steve Vick continued his southward journey today through large swells kicked up by a stiff south wind. He entered the water at 4:19 am and swam until 8:05 am, covering a distance of 5.42 miles. During this morning's swim, he crossed over from the Chilkat Islands to the East Side of the Lynn Canal. Currently, the team is just south of Eldred Rock.
The East Side of Lynn Canal is the favored route for the proposed road against which Steve and his team are protesting. The area is incredibly rugged and beautiful with high mountains plunging into the fjord below. For the rest of the trip Steve will be parallelling the route of the proposed road.
Steve will be entering the water again this afternoon for another swim. He is in great shape and is greatly encouraged by the amount of attention his efforts -- on behalf of the majority of the residents of the Upper Lynn Canal -- are garnering locally and abroad.
