On a lighter note, since no one died...
Some years ago there was some big whoop-de-doo in Hope. Music festival or some such. Lots of clueless people poured in. There is a nice green, grassy ocean-side beach next to the mouth of Resurrection Creek. Great tent sites, eh?? It was taken advantage of...
Most of the Hope residents were up on the bluff, watching the show when the Spring Tide rolled in.....
As to Will's post, I know of only one. Bill Miller was known to have kayaked from his home in Hope on good, calm high slack tides, over to Bird Point? to be picked up for appointments in Anchorage. A few times, anyway. I think he didn't do it much. He would do his business and catch another tide back when it was right. Or so I was told, but not by Bill.
I believe they also used boats between The two shores during the gold rush years, but I could be wrong about that.
