The improbable voyage of an Anchorage man who tried to sail to China to see his wife and son

Sailed across the Bering Sea.

Russia and Alaska are divided by the Bering Strait, which is about 55 miles at its narrowest point. In the middle of the Bering Strait are two small, sparsely populated islands: Big Diomede, which sits in Russian territory, and Little Diomede, which is part of the United States.​

Remember... Comedian Tina Fey made the remark while impersonating Palin on Saturday Night Live (SNL) “I can see Russia from my house!”
