We left Ketchikan this morning after breakfast and headed across Clarence Strait to the village of Kasaan. Shortly after leaving Thomas Basin, we saw a very large humpback in Tongass Narrows, right in front of the airport (just past the airport ferry dock). Kind of weird to see one in that…

On Friday morning Kevin and Mij went out to check crab traps (and Mij got another lesson in dinghy driving…she’s doing great!) We had one keeper Dungeness, so I think I’ll make that recipe I made last week that was so good: crab spaghetti with lemon gremolata. After breakfast, we…

Kevin and Mijonet (granddaughter, 8, on her first solo trip!) arrived from Seattle on time in Ketchikan on Wednesday afternoon. We got Mij all unpacked and then headed up to the Bar Harbor Restaurant to have some dinner (Mij had a pound of clams to celebrate her arrival into the Land…

The wind picked up quite a bit last night and Airship was rockin’ and rollin’ so much that it even woke me up several times. (I’ve checked the lines and fenders multiple times…they’re still good.) This morning it’s blowing about 15+kts and we’re in the least protected spot here at City…

This was our view last night from Airship: And this is the view this morning from the same spot. Quite a difference! It’s still fun to be right down in the middle of all the hubbub. This morning we had nice surprise. Some fellow boaters we met on Thanksgiving in Friday…

We didn’t leave Thoms Place until around 8am this morning so we got to Anan Creek by about 9:30am. We anchored out in about 95 feet. By the time we backed up toward shore all the way to set our anchor we were in 20 feet (at low tide)…it shoals up…

We left Wrangell and headed down Zimovia Strait to Thoms Place. We hadn’t been to Thoms Place before, but heard there was good crabbing so we figured it was about time to get some more crab! (Plus, we had a day to kill between Wrangell and Anan Creek.) I love…

After coming through Rocky Pass and watching humpbacks yesterday afternoon, we anchored for the night at the head of Totem Bay. Totem Bay is a large, flat, fairly shallow bay, and if you wonder why they call it Totem Bay, I think it’s because of these very cool rock formations…

The weather was supposed to be not bad in Chatham, so we poked our head out and things looked pretty calm. Foggy, but calm. The forecast was for 15 knot winds and 3 foot seas, but it wasn’t even that. Until we got about mid channel, and then the wind…
