We left Prince Rupert a little on the late side (after 10am). We gathered our crab traps (six females, and one keeper male), had breakfast and then got underway. We were originally aiming for Lowe Inlet in Grenville Channel, but decided we should try a new place, and the east…

I set the alarm for 4:30am yesterday morning in Ketchikan — after 4 (so we’d have the 4am weather report), but 4:30 for a little extra sleep since sunrise wasn’t until 6am. No point having more than about an hour of pre-sunrise cruising. The alarm went off, I checked the…

Today we awoke to drumming and singing on the dock as the first canoe arrived from Klawock. We watched the greeting but didn’t take photos, since it felt like we were a little late to the party. Another canoe was paddling all the way from Ketchikan (a 30+ mile paddle). They left…

This afternoon we got an opportunity to paddle a hand carved Haida canoe here in Kasaan Bay! This is the first canoe built by Stormy Hamar (head carver on the longhouse project), and he plans to make more (which is great, because they’re super fun to paddle). It’s a little tippy when…

We left Ford’s Terror this morning (exiting just before high slack against about 2 knots of current…no big deal) and decided to fish a bit in Holkham Bay before meeting up with Sam and his family in Taku Harbor tonight. We didn’t catch anything, but we did see puffins! They weren’t…

Hey whatdy’a know? Our crab traps had crab in ‘em this morning. Cannery Cove does not disappoint. Three keeper males, and two females. One of the males was HUGE. He was so big that I thought the smallest male might not be big enough, but when we measured him, he was…
