Behind the scenes look filming in the South Pacific. We travel by airliner, puddle-jumper, tuk-tuk, panga, and dingy to Vava'u, Tonga. It's worth it though, as we get a taste of crystal-clear blue waters, friendly natives, and comfortable trade winds.

Next trip after having enjoyed the real luxury of Tutka Bay was to fly to the real wilderness on the other side of the Cook Inlet to Stonewood Lodge. Sometimes it seems nice to live in a lodge 90 minutes flight from the nearest shop but we still haven't been pushed that far in this crazy world. Must admit that I borrowed some bear pictures from Darlene since the salmon was already gone at the falls and it therefore did not make sense to fly that far south. We did see a lot of bears ourselves in Funnel Creek just south of Iliamna Lake.

A meditative start to a beautiful day at Crescent Lake, near Rockaway Beach on the Oregon coast. Cool dewdrops on lakeside leaves twinkle as the air starts to warm. The sun peaks over the coast range hills, and trees light up with the first light.

Next episode of our float plane training at Alaska Float Ratings in Moose Pass. Now we learned the basics it was time to combine next lessons with views of the amazing scenery in Alaska. In this part we fly, in seperate flights, over both Icefields on Kenai Peninsula. As part of the air safari we stop for the night at Tutka Bay lodge.

Part 2 of our Float Plane lessons in Moose Pass, Alaska

The last couple of days of our stay in Alaska we stayed in the Millenium hotel in Anchorage direct on Lake Hood. Lake Hood is the world's biggest float plane base and it's roaring with activity.

Auf dem 70 sm-Törn von Flensburg nach Heiligenhafen, wird "Kalami Star" am 11. Mai 09, für mehr als eine Stunde von einem Schweinswal begleitet. Mal wurde Kameramann Wilhelm nach Backbord, dann wieder nach Steuerbord gelockt. Immerhin ließ sich das Marsvin (dän.) für ein paar Bilder gut ablichten, bevor es wieder abtauchte. Meine Segelfilme zeige ich gern in Deinem Segelclub oder Kulturzentrum. Mehr auf www.ralfuka.de/index.php/videos/vortraege
