This Is What It Takes to Work in Remote Alaska | 3,000 lbs of Concrete by Boat

Working in remote Alaska sometimes means hauling 3,000 pounds of concrete on your boat to deliver supplies to small coastal communities. On a snowy day in Wrangell, Alaska we loaded 3,000 pounds of ready-mix concrete onto our boat using the public harbor crane and set off on our first real freight delivery aboard the Alaskan Gypsy. The mission: deliver supplies to the small community of Point Baker and continue toward Port Protection, where the concrete will help repair a cabin foundation after trees fell on the home. Working in remote Alaska often means doing a little bit of everything. In a single afternoon we: • Loaded freight with the Wrangell harbor crane • Hauled 3,000 pounds of concrete onto the boat • Biked across town in the snow to pick up tire chains • Navigated Southeast Alaska winter conditions • Delivered supplies to residents in Point Baker Small coastal communities rely on creativity, neighbors, and boats to keep life moving. Sometimes that means hauling 3,000 pounds of concrete on a sailboat. Welcome to logistics, Alaska style.
