The Alaskan WILLIWAWS

A journal of pictures and stories of the life and times at the WILLIWAWS in north Tee Harbor Alaska, a small harbor 21 miles north of Juneau, Alaska on the east side of Lynn Canal. The WILLIWAWS is a small resort owned and operated by Daniel Malick on the site of what was once a fish cannery, that burned completely in 1926 and discovered by Dan while sailing.

WILLY ARRIVES


We have just retrieved Willy from down south and prepare the old shed as a barn. We lay down pallets in the center bay and stack a load of hay for the winter. The old 8x8x4 crates helicoptered to the site after Saudi Arabia serve as our first tack room. We trim off some rotten wood... add a few new boards and throw a black tarp over everything to keep out the wind and snow. Not beautiful but functional. Willy didn't mind.... but the gravel bottom to the stall kept getting deeper and deeper with every cleaning.

MAN BEHIND THE WILLIWAWS

Juneau, Alaska, United States
Just a guy who when sailing his KIKI-DEE stumbled on a very special place in the wilds of Alaska, bought it, and spent the rest of his life there building his dream rural retreat, while continuously traveling about the world for adventure and employment.
