Weather

Troy and I have been trying to get out to his uncle's cabin to cut fire wood and fish. Uncle Ken's cabin is fly in only so the weather is an obvious factor for our fly in success. The weather in and around Anchorage, although amazing for a majority of the summer, has recently turned to show its more characteristic behavior. Rain and fog are keeping Ken's cabin in the clouds so we have been sitting around killing time by reading, drinking coffee and listening to some music.

Occasionally Troy and I talk about where we will be on our voyage at a given moment in time assuming we depart June 2015. We try to hypothetically map out our journey up and to the month at which we currently are. So now is the end of August, where will we be at the end of August in 2015? We figure somewhere around Panama or another Central American zone. These following websites are the ones we most readily use to study current conditions and monitor trends for given areas.
