Called Kurt from Seattle. He has been in Anchorage since last night, and he reports that most flights to Dutch Harbor have been cancelled due to weather. Apparently the Aleutian Islands are typically on the cusp of two weather systems. I am not exactly sure what this means, but it has something to do with the inland (Alaska) weather colliding with the weather over the Bering Sea. This causes the weather at Dutch Harbor to be fairly unstable. Today there are reports of squalls and high winds. He was not certain, but Kurt seemed to think that the flights from Anchorage to Dutch Harbor were prop-jobs (and not regional jets), which would make the flying more treacherous. We are excited to get to work in Dutch Harbor and are hoping that we will not be delayed more than a few hours. Keep your fingers crossed.
