Running repairs!

Three nights in Denali and it would of course rain cats and dogs! End of day 2 we were just about to go out to dinner when we noticed a steady stream of water coming down from the main skylight. Fortunately there was an Ace Hardware nearby so I grabbed a tarp, two kinds of sealant and two kinds of sealing tape! Secured the tarp overnight and thank goodness the winds were light. Next morning using a borrowed ladder and Margaret's hair dryer we dried out the skylight lower flange, applied copious sealant and sealed the skylight to the roof with super strength tape! It's a temporary fix till we get home! Now we wait for the next deluge to see if it was a successful repair!
