by Captain Anthony Karvelas
The Kennicott is delayed today in Yakutat, Tuesday 1/1/13, due to vessel vehicle elevator issues. Presently the engineering department is attempting to troubleshoot the failure; an electrical technician from Juneau and an elevator technician from Anchorage are also being flown in tomorrow afternoon. The best estimate on the duration of this delay is expected to be at least 24 hours; updates will be posted when they become available.
A gale in the Gulf of Alaska is building seas to 30ft throughout today. The weather is expected to diminish late tonight and not interfere with tomorrows expected departure to Whittier.
