Newest reality show is a personal watercraft wonderland trip through Alaska
The Bering Sea King crab fleet has nothing on the newest darlings of Alaskan screen reality adventures and, Sarah Palin aside, this five-man personal watercraft riding team will actually see Russia from their backyard. As a matter of fact, they plan to touch Russia.
It just so happens their backyards are specially modified Seadoo Jet Ski’s, and their front yard is a virtual heaven of Alaskan waters and wildlife.
“This is the adventure of a lifetime,” said Dangerous Waters team leader Steven Moll, 40. “This has never been done before.”
Moll, from Sacramento, Calif., team member Patrick McGregor, 40, from Boise, Idaho, mechanic Charles Davis, 39, of Petersburg, his driver/cameraman and brother Wesley, 37, of New Orleans, La., and hot-shot snowmobile rider turned cameraman Andrew Mazzella, 24, of Bozeman, Mont., overnighted in Juneau Saturday night on their way to Haines. It’s all part of a multi-thousand-mile trip that originated in Seattle on June 15, and will end when they strike gold on the beaches of Nome, hopefully by late July.
The trip is being filmed as part of a 10-episode series to air in March 2012 on Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s HDNet high-definition cable channel.
“The whole goal of the expedition is to get up to Nome and then cross the Bering Strait to Russia,” Moll said.
The crew retrofitted four Seadoos themselves, designing and manufacturing from scratch specialty racks on the back that can carry extra fuel, increasing each craft’s range to more than 300 miles without refueling.
“Especially when we get out in the Aleutians we want to make sure we had that capability,” Moll said.
The team estimates fuel costs will be more than $30,000. With survival gear, food, satellite phone, GPS, incidentals and gear, the amount staggers to well over $150,000 just to be able to film. Then again, this is the new NBA champion owner’s television station.
Episode 1 was riding north from Sacramento to Ballard, Wash., then to Nanaimo, B.C., on Vancouver Island. There they overnighted, then spent a night farther north at Alert Bay, the oldest native settlement in British Columbia. During this adventure they got stuck on the water in darkness after sucking up a rock in one of the craft’s impellers and were guided to land by the lights of Alert Bay. The next morning they traveled to Port Hardy, BC.

The next morning they traveled to Port Hardy, BC. “I can't script what is happening,” Moll said. “Being the executive producer of the show I put together our route as going from point A to point B, and our goals as to what to film.

A Wonderful Surprise from Port Hardy, BC, Canada ...
I had the most wonderful surprise awaiting me when I woke up this morning. A group of students not only read one of their favorite books to me, but they made a video of it for tons and tons of other people to enjoy.
Ms. Soltau-Heller had her students read Jillian Jigs by Phoebe Gilman . I love when kids read books, but I love it more when I am introduced to a new wonderful author. I had never heard of this book or the author, so it was even more fun than you could ever imagine.
This teacher had mentioned that she had never done anything like this before and you absolutely can’t tell. It is amazing. She had the whole class choral read the repetitive phrase in the book and individual students read the pages. All of the kids had an amazing part in this creation and she did a wonderful job. I have yet to go into a classroom where there has not been amazing teaching practices going on. I am so honored to still be in classrooms all over the world via my computer and Skype.
What an inspiring 1st grade class. This class is filled with amazing readers. Who knows maybe some of them will become famous actors. We shall see. Only time will tell. Anyway check out their wonderful video reading Jillian Jigs.
