We left Kent Inlet on Thursday morning as the fog was clearing…another beautiful day so far! We cruised a slightly longer day (39nm) to Rescue Bay, where we put a couple crab traps down. A little later, we saw a green-hulled Selene approaching from Jackson Narrows…could it be Scott on Impulse? Yes it could! Awesome! So we chatted with him and his friend Tracy and made a plan to cruise … Read more
I set the alarm for 6am this morning, thinking we’d get an early start, but it was still fully dark (oops) at 6am, so we snoozed and left at 7am instead. We had a beautiful cruise down the east side of Campania Island (Squally Channel, not squally today) into Campania Sound and Caamaño Sound before tucking into Racey Inlet and cruising all the way to the head of the bay … Read more
We left Foggy Bay around 6am on Friday and had perhaps the most chill crossing of Dixon Entrance ever. It’s possible that due to it being our 18th (!!!) crossing we’re a little more chill ourselves, but it was SO so calm and felt quite short! We saw quite a few different groups of whale spouts in the distance as we approached Dundas Island. Look how calm these conditions are! … Read more
After Bradfield Canal, we spent one night in Vixen Harbor on our way to Ketchikan. The entrance to Vixen Harbor is always a fun transit…we’ve written posts about it several times before (here’s one), but the charts are wrong, and the route that looks best on the charts has only about a foot of water, and the other route looks to be intertidal (which is likely why more people don’t … Read more
We haven’t ever been up Bradfield Canal, so after we left Berg Bay, at the bottom of Blake Channel we turned left up Bradfield Canal and headed for an anchorage just past the Harding River. We saw two humpbacks spouting in the distance, twice, but didn’t see them again after that. We dropped the hook in about 60 feet and promptly took off in the dinghy to explore some of … Read more
We left Petersburg yesterday morning around 8am. A beautiful, mostly clear, sunny day! We transited Wrangell Narrows riding the current in and then also out…it’s fun when the timing works and you get a current boost the whole way through! We stopped and anchored on the east side of Sokolof Bay, a spot we were in once before (over July 4 in 2018). We dropped the anchor in about 30 … Read more
We had a nice quiet stay in Portage Bay. We didn’t even put the dinghy down…we did some work, played some music, worked on art…and did a little boat clean up to get ready for another guest! Friends Brian and Allie on Knot to Worry came into Portage on our second day, and this morning before we left Brian sent us this cool photo he took of Airship the night … Read more
