Description
Sweepers Cove is the sea access to Adak Island in the Aleutian Islands. The waters rarely get above 40 fahrenheit. Some great halibut fishing there - the biggest I ever caught was 43 lbs but each season several hundred pounders were landed.
Image scanned from a Kodak Ektachrome slide shot in 1973. Incidentally, Adak weather was so continuously cloudy that on the rare sunny days, like the one when I took this shot, everyone quit work early to go out and enjoy it.
Enjoy

what you do with a two hundred pounder of a fish? anyway the area looks wonderful

Well Jocko, you sell it. Halibut may be a bottom feeder but it's one of the sweetest tasting bottom feeders one can have. The season for these are March and April if I recall and so the rest of the year they fetch top dollar per pound. As for the conversion, well done! It gives this image even more of a wild look!

Had a friend stationed in Adak...but in the mid-sixties. Some weather up there and you did a fine job catching the sun on a very rare day.

Fanatstic image. It looks so beautiful it almost looks unreal. For one reason, a sunny day like this must be very rare.
