Day 9 | Flotilla to Alaska | Shearwater to Rescue Bay

We left the docks at Shearwater and headed out for Seaforth Channel. We expected to have some swell eventually, but swell never really materialized and conditions remained calm the entire route.

We turned north into scenic Reid Passage up to Perceval Narrows and since we were a bit early, we had a couple knots against us going through (no big deal).

It rained all day as we made our way to Rescue Bay, and the rain continued all night. Normally we’d all be out in dinghies exploring Jackson Narrows and the many beautiful nooks and crannies around here, but it was just too darn wet! Everyone did still suit up in waterproof gear to get together on Airship for taco night, which was tons of fun in spite of the dreary weather.

Tomorrow we’ll head west through Jackson Narrows and onward (and hopefully have better weather and more photos to show for our day)!
