Hovercraft

We got to ride on the 95 foot-long Hovercraft from King Cove to Cold Bay, where a short flight took us to Sand Point. The Suna-x cost $8.8 million to build and has a primary purpose of medevac-ing people to Cold Bay for a flight to Anchorage. It hovers about 5 feet above the surface of the water and can reach speeds of 75 mph.

We saw seven bears on the 30 minute ride from King Cove to Cold Bay.
