Steve,
    Prince William Sound is a big place. Where exactly will you be paddling?
August can be a rainy time in PWS so be prepared to paddle in the rain and
camp in the rain.
    Also a lot of the Glaciers are very active and calve huge chunks of ice.
Avoid the temptation of paddling too close lest you get slamed by the ice.
    If you hear a voice in your head saying "come on Steve you can come
closer than that", ignore it! Backpaddle fast! It is the voice of the Ring
Of Power luring you to Mordor. "Remember the Ring wants to be found."

    Oops sorry, I got carried away a little there didn't I.
    Seriously PWS is a wonderful place top paddle but at the same time a wet
and wild place so be prepared and enjoy

Bob
