The lodge they worked at is in Tuka Bay, approxiamtely  14 miles south of
Homer  and is located in the area called Kachemak Bay.
    Casey Island is not on the map I have but I think it is only one mile
maybe two from the Lodge. It is in a group of Islands know as the Herring
Islands.
    Now that I study the map I can see another factor in the accident. This
is a very remote spot. I am assuming they were alone caretaking the lodge
because no one reported them missing. Also there would have been very few
people traveling through this area at this time of year. There is a salmon
hatchery about 6 miles from where the accident occured but anyone traveling
by boat to the hatchery would have passed about a mile and a half away.
    In otherwords they were is a very remote spot, out of normal boat
traffic lanes and no one knew they were out there.
