Day 30 | 2024 Flotilla to Alaska | Takatz Bay to Baby Bear Bay

Chatham Strait this morning was a little rolly but not bad at all — some swells from the south opposing a little current from the north caused a bit of surfing, but it was gentle and manageable. We saw a couple of chill humpbacks and managed to snap a few pics before they dove and disappeared.

 

 

As we entered Peril Strait, conditions were downright glassy, and our long 50nm cruise today to Baby Bear Bay was peaceful and relaxing. We even got a bit of sun!

After we anchored in Baby Bear Bay, Dick from Ithaka came over to watch the Canadian Grand Prix with us (fun to have another racing fan along!)

Kevin took the drone up for a few pics.

We made dinner tonight using the last of our veggies (two zucchini! woohoo), some shrimp, chopped tomatoes, and an Indian butter chicken simmer sauce that we served over coconut jasmine rice. Delicious, and we are right on schedule with the end of fresh veggies and arriving in Sitka tomorrow!

We’ll catch Sergius Narrows just before slack tomorrow, and head on into Sitka!
