Antithesis 0 #1 December 9, 2003 Hey guys.. Brian here.. Bored as hell on the little island of Dutch Harbor/ Unalaska, AK. I'm stuck here for the month watching my companies boats until their crews return after the holidays. This place is like a second home to me because it's been my port town for nearly ten yrs. I've always been excited about getting here but at the same time I'm always in a hurry to get out of here.. And now I'm stuck here for a month! What would you do if you lived on a boat tied to a dock on a little Aleutian island in the Bering sea? I travel the land, Work in the ocean, Play in the sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antithesis 0 #4 December 9, 2003 QuoteDidn't the Japanese visit there a few years back?? Yeah, there are old pow camps, gun stations old fortresses all over the island from ww2 when the japanese attacked. They did not get dutch harbor but I'm pretty sure that they occupied Adak or Atka for a little while. I'm going to the museum later this week. After that I may be a little more qualified to speak history. I travel the land, Work in the ocean, Play in the sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antithesis 0 #5 December 9, 2003 Ohh it also has the smallest runway that a 737 jet can land on in the world. It's the only place that I've seen people clap when a plane lands besides a dz. The runway is also surrounded by mountains and ocean. I travel the land, Work in the ocean, Play in the sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
