Day 44

June 18. We did some serious ish shopping to top up our larder before we left. Filled up with water too. We had no idea when we would be able to satisfactorily restock again. Found a nice bakery with really good chocolate croissants but oddly; no breads. We left Petersburg at 11am. Out of the harbour; we saw our first glacier off to the east and plenty of salmon jumping and even a few humpbacks, in the distance. The landscape was now changing to something different than we had encountered to this point, which was not unlike the earlier Alaskan coast and that in B.C. Probably due to the “recent” ice age and scouring touring glaciers. A nice sunny day with mostly flat seas took us to an anchorage called Fanshaw Bay, in about 7 hours. We walked Pi on a mostly shell beach and through a forest that was finishing off the remains of a canning or logging camp. We had a sunny HH with eagles flying about and a single whale spouting not far away.
