On the Water
Alaskan water comes straight from Glaciers. It does not warm up much until it hits Hawaii! If you will be doing anything on or near any body of water, bring long johns and/or wind-rain pants to insure you stay warm enough to enjoy yourself.

Weather in Alaska
It is very changeable in any one place and from seacoast to mountain top.
They only send new weather forecasters here—to humble them…
Don’t take anything for granted…It is always better to have more gear than you need than not enough.
