July 6 and 7. Out of Echo Bay about 8am after pulling up yet another empty crab trap. I am beginning to get tired of feeding fat star fish. After a smooth 3 hour motor we pulled into Warm Springs Bay. It was busy and there was no room for us to tie up at […]
July5. Fuel up after waiting an hour or so for a barge to clear the fuel dock. Twaz a low tide and a post tie up to get fuel. I managed to break the antenna cover for the GPS chart device, by catching it on one of the posts as i was tying up to
July 3. Because there were some smaller salmon jumping; we trolled around Pavlof Harbor, in SeaScape for about 30 minutes with no nibbles. Left about 9 pm on mild seas, motoring for about 4 hours into Tenakee Springs. It is a “character and quirky” village that had its roots in a cannery and a resting
July2. Left Hoonah about 8 am. About 10 minutes after leaving the dock, I decided to get Pi into her “cruising coat”. Hey Laurence here’s her coat, please get her dressed. Laurence from below; “send her down”. “She’s down there”. “No”. Pi is not on the boat!!! Has she gone overboard!?!? Looking in the water
June 30. Out of Barlett cove with tide at 8:30 am. Did an hour of sailing and about 7 of motoring and stopped to do some close up whale watching after some swimming moose watching. This moose was headed across Icy Strait. We diverted it back to shore. Into Hoonah fuel for 30 gallons. No
June 29. We hung around Sandy Cove North for most of the day. Skunked in the crab dept. again. The fridge had stopped working and done a defrost in the night. Don’t know why is stopped but it started up again ok and we should have a few ice cubes for HH in Bartlett Cove
June 28. Spent the morning in a sunny Reid Inlet. Left, heading south now, at 1 pm. Had 3 hours of pleasant sailing with a mild to moderate tailish wind. The wind died about 5pm and we motored into our next anchorage in Sandy Cove North. This well used anchorage is one of about 3
June27. It was a bit cloudy earlier in the day but the forecast was for clearing in the afternoon. We left on flat seas at 7am. Pretty much as soon as we left Reid Inlet we started seeing ice in the water in the shape of small icebergs an chunks of ice. They call them
June 26. Because it is a cloudy day with a chance of showers; we decide to hang out in Reid Inlet for the day. The weather forecast is better for tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go up to our “destination glacier”. Today I just do a few minor repairs and maintenance around the boat, deploy the
“June 25. Internet was slow to connect. Worrysome, mostly for Laurence’s sake (hence; mine). We feared it might not work as well this far north. It did get back to normal; about a half hour later than normal. BTW: It is light by 1:30 am ( pissing time) and I am not sure it actually
