Your life might have been saved by Taquan's decision to not fly. This time of year one can easily be delayed for days by bad weather. Heck, just the other day I saw a promech flight in unbelievable bad weather buzzing my house. I couldn't believe that they would be so stupid as even attempt to operate flights in that kind of conditions.
Secondly, not very smart to plan a trip to a remote island in Southeast Alaska and not make back up plans for in case you get stranded (the POW ferry runs seven days a week, rain or shine).
There's so much that can be said on this topic. So yeah. I won't say what I want to say because I might violate the TOS.
In Alaska I am always prepared to sleep where I can and have slept in airport 'terminals' several times. Some were no more than equipment shacks. The word Schedule and Southeast Alaska don't go together. You have to be prepared to wait.
