Granted this isn't Friday, but this could pass as a interest story for
Vanagoneers who travel and use their vans to camp and otherwise
recreate. . And - this is a good place to go.

Here's an article and video of guys just outside of Anchorage, Alaska
riding the Turnagain Boretide  wave up the channel for five miles. I
have watched this phenomenon many times, and it's always thrilling.

The upper end of Turnagain Arm is often used for Surf Sailing, but  i
have never seen anyone ride the Boretide wave itself.

An aside - a friend who is a sculptor was out there once and saw two
bull moose fighting in the water from the bore time. He created this
piece titled - "Bore Tide"  - about 12 inches long, jade base, and cast
from enriched Sterling Silver (less copper, more silver)

There might be one or two of these still available if interested. Drop
me a note.

Enjoy !!
