In 2005, the Kincaid
family visited Alderwood Retreat.Big brother
Jacob is seen here reeling in his first halibut
with the help of Captain Stan. Mom Kincaid and
little brother Isaac (& Hunter) wait to
see what surfaces.
Papa
Kincaid and middle brother Joseph are tidepooling
while Sheba, their family dog, keeps close watch.
At Alderwood Retreat the four-legged members
are as welcome as the rest of the family.
Desiree and Kovu enjoyed touring the coastline
in our super-stable recreational kayaks.
Vince and his daughter relax and take in the
scenery on their marine tour. Newman lies at
their feet waiting for our return to the beach.
With
the Moore family, we kayaked up a river to look
at a salmon weir.
When the river got too shallow to paddle any
further, I had to help Dylan get to the bank.
(He didn’t wear his boots!)
The
weir channels the salmon through a narrow passageway
that allows local Fish and Game employees to
count how many salmon have successfully returned
to their spawning grounds.
This can offer
opportunity to view Kodiak brown bear as they
feed.
A salmon bake on the beach was a relaxing way
to end the day for the Moeller family.
Your family can catch salmon and grill it up on
the beach the same day, or kayak around a nearby
island and stop for a picnic on a beach along
the way. Or both! However you choose to spend
your time, we know you’ll enjoy having spent
your family vacation with us here at Alderwood
Retreat. You’ll have an adventure that is
unique to living in the wilderness of Alaska,
and you’ll take home memories that will last
a lifetime!
This has been probably the best vacation I have ever taken.
What an awesome place you have. I can’t wait to bring my wife & kids here.
