Akela’s Pacific Adventure, the whole story

We tried to make regular blog postings to share our Pacific Adventure with family and friends. We included pictures when it was easy for us, and we wrote passages to share our thoughts and feelings. The whole story, as captured by the blogs, is presented here in chronological order. — Capt. Jim
