Phase 2 of this off-grid cabin repair… and now we’re working underneath it. With the structure still out of level, this step is all about building temporary posts to hold the house in place while we prepare for the real foundation reset. No waiting on perfect conditions—just getting under there and figuring it out. Most of this work happens after sunset. Headlamps on. Ocean waves in the background. Tools, mud, concrete, and whatever materials we can haul in from the surrounding area. Out here, plans change fast. No trip to the store. No easy resupply. So we improvise, borrow, scrounge—and keep moving. In this phase: Setting temporary posts and beams to support the structure Pouring initial footers and working with bedrock when we find it Hauling salvaged timbers through the woods when weather shuts down other plans Prepping the structure so we can safely reset the original foundation This isn’t the final fix… It’s what holds everything together while we get there....Stay tuned for more. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Back Under the House 00:40 Phase 2 Begins 01:30 Finding Footing in the Dark 03:30 Bedrock Discovery 05:30 Changing the Plan 07:00 Hauling Materials the Hard Way 10:00 Setting Temporary Posts 13:30 Concrete & Footers 17:30 Chaos, Jacks & Progress 22:00 Ocean in the Background 26:00 End of Day Setup 29:00 What Comes Next

We set out expecting a manageable day on the water. The forecast had been holding steady around 20 knots from the east, and it looked like good conditions for a downwind sail to Port Protection. But as we worked our way down Sumner Strait toward Point Baker, the conditions started building beyond what was expected. Winds pushed well over 40 knots, with steep, messy seas building around us. It wasn’t just the strength of it. The angle of the wind made it harder, pushing us toward shore at times and forcing us to stay fully engaged at the helm. Looking back, there are always things you’d do differently. We kept sail up longer than we should have, and by the time things escalated, it made everything more complicated to manage in those conditions. And it’s a good reminder for us moving forward: In the winter out here, a 20 knot forecast can easily turn into 40. We worked through it together, we stayed with it, and made our way around Point Baker. And just like that, everything changed. Flat water in Port Protection. Quiet. Relief. The kind of calm that feels almost surreal after a day like that. We made it in safe, a little worn down, and a little sharper for next time. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Winter Sailing in Alaska… Forecast vs Reality 0:32 Working Our Way Toward Point Baker 1:49 First Glimpse of Port Protection 2:18 Conditions Start Building 2:55 8–10 Foot Seas & 40+ Knot Winds 3:13 Sails Start Getting Hard to Manage 4:25 Pushing Through the Worst of It 4:42 What We Expected vs What We Got 5:28 Coast Guard Storm Warning Hits 6:00 Forecast vs Actual Conditions 6:30 Fighting Wind and Current 7:30 Chaos on Deck 8:48 How the Boat Handled It 10:00 Why We Kept Going 11:00 Rounding Point Baker 12:00 Making It Into Port Protection 13:30 Aftermath and Reset 14:15 Lessons From the Day 15:00 20 Knots Doesn’t Mean 20

We headed out by skiff from Port Protection to Point Baker on the north end of Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska after hearing we might be able to find supplies for a foundation repair project. What started as a simple winter supply run turned into a full glimpse into life in one of Alaska’s remote off-grid communities. Fresh snow covered everything, Veronica guided us through the narrow “gut” channels, and we got to see cabins, backwater routes, mail pickup, local ingenuity, and the kind of problem-solving that defines everyday life out here. One of the things this trip really shows is how small remote communities in Alaska come together to support each other. In a single afternoon we were helped by one neighbor who gave us a ride through the gut channels, visited another couple who ended up giving us the timbers we needed, helped them remove a fallen tree from their sawmill shed, and then picked up mail for two different community members on our way back. What started as a simple errand to find a few posts for another neighbor turned into a chain of people helping people across two tiny communities. That’s just how life works out here. Along the way we visited friends, looked for timbers and posts, checked out storm damage, helped with hazard tree removal, explored town, and got another reminder that in remote Alaska, every errand can turn into an adventure. This is winter life in Southeast Alaska on the skiff, in the communities, and out beyond the road system.

Living aboard our sailboat in Alaska means life happens in chapters. Sometimes we’re working hard in remote coastal communities. Other times we’re sailing to the next job. And occasionally we get these quiet moments in between where we can slow down and explore. On our way toward Port Protection, we dropped anchor on the northwest corner of Prince of Wales Island and decided not to rush into work just yet. Instead, we launched the paddleboards. Within minutes we were gliding across glassy water, exploring a remote stretch of coastline locals call Memorial Beach. Moss-covered rainforest, tide pools full of starfish, unusual rock formations, and a peaceful walk through the Tongass National Forest made this one of those days that reminds us why we chose this self-reliant sailboat life. Sometimes living aboard a sailboat in Alaska feels like we’ve simply moved our cabin to a completely new wilderness backyard for the night. In this episode: • paddleboarding from our sailboat into the Alaska wilderness • exploring rainforest trails on Prince of Wales Island • discovering tide pools and bright red starfish • enjoying a calm February sunset in Southeast Alaska • Audrey attempts her first cold plunge of the winter Self-reliant sailboat life in Alaska isn’t always about big passages or storms. Sometimes the best moments come from dropping anchor somewhere new and seeing what’s waiting just beyond the shoreline. Thanks for joining us aboard Alaskan Gypsy.

When we first arrived at this cabin in Port Protection, Alaska, we could already see something wasn’t right. Besides the two trees leaning on the roof, the structure had shifted slightly downhill and several of the foundation piers were leaning. Before we could even begin addressing the foundation problem, we had to remove multiple trees that had fallen against the structure. Once the trees were cleared, it was time to go underneath the house and figure out what was really going on. What we found was a complicated mix of leaning posts, sloped bedrock, and large voids in the ground where old roots and unstable soil made it difficult to place proper supports. With the structure sitting in a questionable position, the first priority became simple: stabilize the building before things got worse. Working in remote Southeast Alaska means solving problems with the materials on hand. Supplies can be days away, and every repair requires creativity and careful planning. In this video we install temporary supports and start mapping out a long-term plan for stabilizing the cabin’s foundation. The big question moving forward: Can this cabin be made safe again? Life and construction in Port Protection always keeps things interesting. Stay tuned for more episodes on as we tackle this project.

Working in remote Alaska sometimes means hauling 3,000 pounds of concrete on your boat to deliver supplies to small coastal communities. On a snowy day in Wrangell, Alaska we loaded 3,000 pounds of ready-mix concrete onto our boat using the public harbor crane and set off on our first real freight delivery aboard the Alaskan Gypsy. The mission: deliver supplies to the small community of Point Baker and continue toward Port Protection, where the concrete will help repair a cabin foundation after trees fell on the home. Working in remote Alaska often means doing a little bit of everything. In a single afternoon we: • Loaded freight with the Wrangell harbor crane • Hauled 3,000 pounds of concrete onto the boat • Biked across town in the snow to pick up tire chains • Navigated Southeast Alaska winter conditions • Delivered supplies to residents in Point Baker Small coastal communities rely on creativity, neighbors, and boats to keep life moving. Sometimes that means hauling 3,000 pounds of concrete on a sailboat. Welcome to logistics, Alaska style.

Snowy morning. I’m headed to Anchorage on a mission: tools, supplies, Costco goods, and the usual remote Alaska logistics puzzle of getting everything back to our sailboat, Alaskan Gypsy. Living off the road system means even a quick trip to town turns into a full operation. Everything has to fit into 50 lb totes. Frozen food has to stay frozen. And winter travel in Southeast Alaska always has its own plans. This run started out smooth enough. Beautiful flying weather, clear winter skies over the islands we usually travel by boat, and a tight list to work through in Anchorage. But Alaska has a way of rewriting the ending. A rough landing popped the front tire, and suddenly I was stuck in Petersburg with 300 pounds of freight, a snowstorm rolling in, and a whole new puzzle to solve just to get everything back toward Wrangell and the Gypsy. Along the way: • Four flights across Southeast Alaska • The reality of 50 lb tote logistics • Costco run, Alaska style • $203 to ship 154 pounds • Small-town Alaska stepping in to help • Waiting it out at Banana Point • And figuring it out… one step at a time Anchorage always carries contrast for me too. I lived there for 20 years, and every trip back brings layers of memory alongside the practical mission. This is the real, unstaged side of winter logistics in remote Alaska. ⚓ Vessel: Alaskan Gypsy 📍 Southeast Alaska ❄️ Winter season Subscribe for real working waterfront life, remote sailing, and the true logistics behind living off the road system.

Snowy morning in Wrangell, Alaska. Audrey is in Anchorage gathering supplies, and I am on my own. Today’s mission: single-hand the 80ft steel motor sailor over to the crane dock and load 3,000 pounds of concrete for a foundation repair job in Port Protection, Alaska. No bow thruster. Single screw. Snow squalls. And a surprise fuel leak in the engine room before I even leave the harbor. This is a real day in the life of running and maintaining a large steel vessel in Southeast Alaska. Fuel system problems, dock maneuvering, crane logistics, and figuring it out solo. Living aboard year-round means learning to handle your boat alone when needed. It also means solving problems as they arise, whether that’s leaking inspection plates or moving freight by crane. 3,000 pounds of concrete is heading back to Port Protection for the next phase of foundation repairs.

After a week of work in Port Protection, it was time to make the run back toward town… whether we felt like it or not. This is what that actually looks like for us. An early departure to stay ahead of weather. Picking our way around the northwest tip of Prince of Wales Island. Waiting on current and wind in Merrifield Bay. Motor sailing when we can. Sailing when it makes sense. And a whole lot of watching conditions evolve in real time. Nothing dramatic on this trip. Just winter boating in Alaska and the steady, time-intensive reality of moving a 110,000-pound boat through Southeast Alaska when you live off the road system. Along the way: • Working the weather windows • Killing time while tide and wind sort themselves out • A brief overboard rug incident 😅 • Fresh pumpkin chocolate chip cookies in the galley • Hunting for a safe overnight anchorage • Catching what wind we can in Sumner Strait • Making steady miles toward Wrangell By the end of the run, we’d been on our way to town for over a full day, reminded again that out here, even simple logistics take planning, patience, and a willingness to move with the conditions.

After two beautiful days sailing and anchoring, we headed back into Port Protection looking for work after a powerful Alaskan storm rolled through the region. What we didn’t expect was to pull into the Back Bay and spot a couple of trees resting on top of someone’s house. Hurricane-force winds tore through Port Protection, uprooting massive trees, triggering small landslides, and damaging homes, boardwalks, and foundations. The house we found sits on a rocky, exposed shoreline where two large trees slid down the cliff and landed directly on the roof. Thankfully no one was inside. In this episode of Alaskan Gypsy Life, we: • Assess storm damage in Port Protection • Stabilize a shifting foundation • Remove weight from the roof • Inspect interior and structural damage • Work through solar, inverter, and generator systems • Plan safe tree removal on unstable terrain This is what self-reliant living in remote Alaska really looks like. Living aboard allows us to take our skills wherever they are needed most. Sometimes that means sailing. Sometimes that means chainsaws, harnesses, mud, and a slipping hillside. Port Protection endured one brutal winter with record snow and multiple major windstorms. Homes, trails, and boardwalks were heavily impacted. We are grateful to help.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, we removed the cover and raised the mizzen sail aboard our steel schooner Alaskan Gypsy. This 775 square foot mizzen was built in 1993 by Mariner Sails in Ketchikan, Alaska. The original owners launched Gypsy in 1992 and invested in hand-sewn 12 oz cloth, bolt rope and rings, and two reef rows. Since the early 2000s, this sail had been sitting quietly under its weathered cover. Until now. On a rare calm February day in Alaska’s Inside Passage, we finally hoisted it. Four sails flying. Snow on the mountains. Glassy water. And for the first time, we saw what this tall ship truly looks like under canvas. We’re learning to sail a five-sail steel schooner in Southeast Alaska. Some days bring wind. Some days bring mechanical troubleshooting. This day brought both — and a reminder of why we’re doing this in the first place. Grateful for the builders. Grateful for the history. Grateful for the chance to carry it forward. ⛵ Boat: Steel Schooner Alaskan Gypsy 📍 Location: Alaska’s Inside Passage 🎥 First drone footage with four sails raised ⚓ Living aboard and learning as we go If you love real sailing life, Alaska cruising, and tall ship dreams brought back to life, subscribe and come along. 00:00 Welcome Aboard Alaskan Gypsy 00:14 The 1993 Mizzen Sail History 01:53 How Long Has This Sail Been Covered? 02:29 First Time the Cover Comes Off 03:53 First Look at the Mizzen 07:21 Hoisting the Mainsail & Mizzen Setup 12:36 Four Sails Flying (Drone Footage) 13:49 Searching for Wind in Snow Pass 17:02 Engine Fuel Shutoff Issue 18:32 Troubleshooting the Problem 20:26 Back Underway 22:09 Sails Down & Heading to Anchorage 23:03 First Day Reflections Under Power 25:17 Wrapping Up the Day
