Join a small group of pioneers as they ride north through Alaska's breathtaking inland waterway aboard personal watercraft specifically modified for long-distance travel. We join them in Ketchikan, Alaska, for a trip to a remote fishing village in Yes Bay past a beautiful waterfall. Stop in on Iben Gannt, a bridge tender who operates the Spa Creek drawbridge in Annapolis, Maryland, overlooking the United States Naval Academy. Iben tells us how he operates the bridge along with relating what boaters should know before approaching a bridge. Quick and Dottie Carlson enjoy spending a pleasant afternoon cruising the Chesapeake Bay's tributaries aboard their 23-foot picnic launch, the Wind in the Willows, powered by a wood-burning steam engine.
