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…

High slack on Sunday evening brought in our friend Sam (and some visiting family) on Safe Harbour, his Nordic Tug 37. We were the only two boats in Ford’s Terror for the next two nights and it was fantastic. In the morning Sam took his family out for a Terror Tour…

We left Wrangell early (6:30am) to take advantage of the current in Wrangell Narrows. Commercial crabbing season opened this morning so it was busy around here! The current flows both ways in Wrangell Narrows, so we timed it to enter the south end on the end of a flood, using…

We left Meyers Chuck right after Cassy brought us warm cinnamon rolls. This is the first time we’ve ever lucked out on the cinnamon roll thing (worth it!). The first time in Meyers Chuck, we called but Cassy’s husband said she was out of town and we definitely didn’t want…

Kevin arrived back in Ketchikan after spending the week in Austin for work. He brought his mom back with him, and we’ll be showing her SE Alaska from Ketchikan to Petersburg this week. (I was really ready to get off the dock back out in nature again!) Our first stop…
