Z’s family knows that “Kids Don’t Float” so they make sure she’s outfitted in a float coat when she goes out paddling. Enjoy these beautiful days and be sure to wear a life vest!

"How deep is the water?" is a frequently asked question on my tours. And, like most questions asked about Seldovia, the answer is, "It depends." Regarding the water depth, it's constantly changing! The tides go in and out, and vary based on the moon phase and how far away the moon is from earth, and so on. These two photos were taken today, 5/31/2026, at this morning's low tide, a minus 1.7'. And then again this afternoon at the 16.3' high tide. These aren't even close to being the most dramatic highs and lows we get here, which can differ by 28 feet! People also ask, "What do you do in Seldovia?" and a truly legitimate answer is that we just watch the tide go in and out.

One of our favorite sights.

For many of us, the Tusty has always been part of life here. It brings groceries, supplies, visitors, and loved ones returning home. Sometimes it carries people heading off on new adventures, and other times it brings them back after being away.

But beyond all of that, it’s the feeling connected to it that stands out most. Watching it pull into Seldovia Bay never really gets old. It reminds us how connected this small coastal community is, even tucked away across Kachemak Bay.

So many memories in Seldovia somehow involve the Tusty—waiting at the dock, waving goodbye, welcoming someone home, or simply watching it arrive from the shoreline.

It’s more than just a ferry to us. It’s part of the story of living here.
