The Fort
The house is really just as I anticipated. I guess pictures really do help you to conceive of a place. That is not to say I was not happy with what I beheld. All the buildings along the beach…the guest cabin, smokehouse, outhouse, workshop, sauna/mudroom, water-wheel house, battery house and greenhouse. Then it’s a relatively steep climb up to the main house. The front door opens to a mud room and a small cold room, our refrigerator, the laundry and the pantry (which is fully stocked!) off to the left. To the right you walk into the kitchen, to my delight it is painted purple, then the living room. Both of these rooms face out looking over Isonotski Strait and Unimak Island. Behind the living room is the office and bathroom and then stairs up to the loft bedroom (also with a view).
Open this up to view the western tip of the peninsula and the eastern shore of Unimak Island. We are in the center, where the "pass" is narrowest, on the east bank (Stonewall), where the currents gets squeezed.
Stonewall (and the premises of the rest of the stories)
