We woke to a gorgeous, peaceful morning in Baker Inlet. Zero wind, glassy water, and blue sky! I went out on the deck to take photos of the other boats. DeAnne on Turnagain reciprocated and sent us this one! There was some great color lining the walls of Watts Passage as we transited at low tide…fun to see all the anemones all closed up and waiting for water. We emerged … Read more
Last night in Lowe Inlet was very windy and the boats all moved around at anchor quite a bit. A little tougher to get good sleep in those conditions, but luckily we weren’t leaving the anchorage until 11:30am or so which meant we could try to get a little extra snoozing in after the wind died down this morning. Also the morning, the rain returned. It was bound to happen. … Read more
We left Khutze Inlet this morning just before 6am for our 55nm cruise to Lowe Inlet. Conditions were pretty much like this the whole day…a little wind, occasional chop, some current with us and some current against us. It’s funny how the perspective changes after a couple weeks on the water as we make miles north. We left this morning before 6am, and when I noticed it was nearing 9am, … Read more
(Yes, I know, five bears and I lead with a picture of a duck, but isn’t that a cool duck??) This morning we woke to bright sun and blue sky, again. Lovely. We were the only boats in here now, so after breakfast, Kevin took the Mavic Mini* up for a few aerial photos. Today was all about looking for bears! High tide was around 2pm, and at noon we … Read more
We left Rescue Bay around 8am this morning…another sunny day with clear blue sky! Feeling pretty lucky the past few days with the weather. Today’s 8am departure saw us through Jackson Narrows about an hour after low tide, so still nice and skinny (for the fun) but plenty of depth under our keels. Airship saw 13ft at the shallowest, and we had a beautiful glassy cruise through Jackson Passage over … Read more
Our plan this morning was to leave Shearwater between 8:30am-9am. We were hopeful that the fuel barge had come during the night…Shearwater was out of diesel when we arrived! Ranger Tug IF really wanted to top off here so they didn’t have to stop and hope to get fuel at Klemtu or Hartley Bay, where unanswered calls to the fuel docks couldn’t verify availability. (If Shearwater was out, maybe the … Read more
We had a nice calm evening in Codville Lagoon last night, and this morning we left the anchorage by about 8am and headed for Shearwater. Couple of shots of the moonrise last night (not bad from an iPhone!) Entering Fisher Channel on a gorgeous, clear and sunny day! Today’s cruise over to Shearwater was only 16nm or so…plenty of room at the dock when we arrived. Some folks took the … Read more
A nice leisurely morning in Kwakume Inlet! We didn’t pull our anchor until the civilized hour of 9am! Before we pulled our anchor though, we pulled our crab traps and had one very large male Dungeness. Score! Once we were all anchored in Codville Lagoon, we dropped the dinghies and met on shore for the hike up to Sagar Lake. The sun is out now and we’re all doing dinner … Read more
