Airship Goes to Alaska We left our little cove inside Tracy Arm and cruised the 25 miles or so to South Sawyer glacier. There was far less ice to dodge than when we were here before. Far less, and far less other boat traffic as well. Passing a seal on…

Airship Goes to Alaska A giant cruise ship wake rocked us hard awake around 5:15am as it headed past our Tracy Arm unnamed anchorage (sometimes called Tracy Arm Cove and in to see the glaciers). Since we were all awake, we decided to head that way ourselves and left our…

Airship Goes to Alaska We left Taku Harbor this morning and decided to fish a bit on our way to Tracy Arm. We caught two rockfish, and then a really weird other thing we're still trying to figure out what it was. Internetters, if you know…tell us! Rockfish: Weird sluggy thing…
