June 24. Left Pleasant Island Cove under windless conditions but against a decent current. Start to see lots of sea otters and other wild life. Once into the park (after having to radio in) again; whales, sea lions, more sea otters and lots of birds. We did a brief anchor off the main dock at […]

June 23. Filled the water tanks up as well as topped up the 10 lb propane tank. I am quite surprised at how long that small tank lasts. We’re cooking on it 3 times a day and the last time I filled it was in Port Hardy, 28 days ago and it wasn’t even totally

June 22. Spent the day at the harbor. Hurray! My persistence paid off; we managed to score a coveted Short Notice Pleasurecraft reservation for Glacier Bay National Park. That gives us 4 nights, 5 days in the Park, starting on Tuesday June 25. Hopefully we will have some good weather. Right now; the forecast is

June 21. Nothing in the crab trap. We left Taku Harbor at about 7:30 and motored into a slight head wind for 6 hours into Stattor Harbor in Auke Bay in North Juneau. Got lucky and was able to get a good spot in a very crowded marina, after fueling up. Bought two large dungeness

June 20. Out of Tracy Arm Cove at 8:30am against the current. Down to 1.5 knots ( about 2mph instead of a normal 6mph) to get out of the Cove. Once out we cut the motor and actually sailed north for about 6 hours before the wind died just before our next destination; Taku Harbor.

June 19. Out of Fanshaw Bay at 7:30am, into a bit of a headwind. Mostly sunny. We anchored for lunch at Windham Bay. Into Tracy Arm Cove at 5:30 pm after 2 hours of sailing ( 6.5 hours of motoring). Took Pi for a short on leash walk on an ugly low tide beach. We

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

June 16, up at 5am. It was a rough rock and roll night until about 3am when the swell quit. Laurence and I had no trouble sleeping. Rock -a-bye babies. Pi however was very uncomfortable and tried to get into bed with us. Rebuffed! Check and pull crab trap. Zippo. Easy seas and about 6

June 16 – We leave Meyers Chuck at 6am heading towards Wrangell. Finally saw a few humpbacks a kilometer or so away. Complete with a “tail”. We also got surrounded by a pack of Pacific White sided dolphins who escorted us for about 15 minutes. I did get a video of a few of them

june15; after a final grocery shop, we left Ketchikan at 10 am. Mostly flat seas, except that there was a time where I though putting up the sails would work. Lasted about 5 minutes and the winds died again. After about 6 hours we pulled into a small protected harbor called; Meyors Chuck. Currently it
