On the 12th of September, 1992, Ole
Lake, David Evan, and I went upriver to do some moose hunting. We
planned the trip for three days and had already bought and packed all
our supplies. We planned to leave late in the afternoon, but had some
second thoughts. That morning it was raining and by noon the wind had
picked up and the river was getting rough. But they decided that we
would go anyway. Since I was only thirteen, I didn't have any say,
but I didn't mind. So we loaded up the boat and left. The rain had
stopped but the wind was still up.
The river wasn't bad until we got
near Kuik Island. There we had to cross the river. Ole was driving,
and he slowed the boat to a plowing speed and turned into the waves.
It was rough, and water splashed in every time the boat slapped
against the water. And when the waves slapped the boat they turned it
in any direction. We knew then that we were at the mercy of the
river. The wind ripped at the water and at us, but we finally made it
to the safety of the other side. By then it was more fun than
fright.
From that point on we traced the
river bank, and as we rode along I looked out toward the water and
watched the towering white-capped waves. Around Devil's Elbow it got
calm and the only waves in the water were tiny ripples. We traveled
fast from there to Ohogmiut where it was rough again. The wind was
steady and strong, and it turned the water into large rolling waves.
Ole's boat was 22 feet long, pretty big by my standards, but when we
got into those waves it felt like we were a peanut shell afloat in
the Pacific Ocean. When we were at the top of a wave it felt like we
were on a small hill, and when we were in between the waves I
couldn't see anything but water. If the wind had been blowing toward
us the waves would have probably rolled right over the boat. It took
us two hours to get from Ohogamiut to Seven mile Slough where from
there on the river was calm. When we finally stopped at a suitable
campsite we ate just as the sun was setting. The clouds had broken up
and the setting sun turned the sky into beautiful shades of pink and
purple. The water was the same color as the sky and dead calm. The
wind was gone.
