Alaska, the wild and merciless beast! Picture this: We decided to take a trip there in August, fully aware that the rain gods were going to shower us with their blessings. So, I packed my trusty hiking mountain rain gear, thinking I was the ultimate rain warrior.

Now, I had signed up for an all-day cruise and kayaking adventure in the glorious Alaska Kenai Fjords National Park, courtesy of the aptly named “Sunny Cove Kayaking.” I couldn’t resist asking the guides if they ever saw sunshine up there. Their response? A hearty “RARELY!” Talk about slick marketing!

So there we were, paddling like champs for about 4 miles in the relentless downpour, navigating ice-filled glacier waters like we were auditioning for a survival reality show. The trip was a strange mix of beautiful scenery, epic adventure, and downright misery. I mean, my rain gear might as well have been a sieve!

But here’s the kicker: Would I do it again? Absolutely, in a heartbeat! Only next time, I’d be shelling out a small fortune on GORE-TEX rain gear, probably even throwing in a rain dance just for good measure. Watch the saga unfold in the below video as I battle the Alaskan elements! 😂🌧️🚣‍♂️
