Last day on St. George, and it felt a little hectic rushing for a flight. Flights only happen on good weather days, and those are the days you don’t want to leave St. George Island!
We squeaked in a beach outing before going to the airport. It felt wonderful to soak up the sound of those waves and not be pummeled by the crazy wind of the last week. We enjoyed a few horned puffins flying by, searched for treasures washed up, and Jillian went bare foot in the water. It was a beautiful end to a rich week.
Thank you to the Bering Sea presenters who sent activities for this week: Stori Oates, Bess Koffman, Stephanie Crawford, Julia Matteucci, and Kristen Gorman. Thank you to Carol Randall, Veronica Padula, Mr. Baldwin, and the Pribilof School District for their support, and thank you to everyone on St. George who helped make the activities this week happen. This project was funded by the Aleutian Pribilof Island Community Development Association and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
