The last two days were long days of traveling. We are attempting to get south of Cape Caution while the waters are calm. So we have been traveling long days and have a few more to do. We may be heading south but there is still a lot more cruising ad…

Well this day turned out to be surprising to us. We couldn’t get the weather over the VHS radio while we were in the Misty Fjords. We had to rely on the weather reports we could receive via the single side band radio email. When we left our anchorag…

We have spent the last few days exploring the Misty Fjords National Monument which is located on the Behm Canal just a few miles west of Ketchikan. As we passed Bailey Bay we thought about our friends Bill and Betsy Bailey. Cruising towards our next …

Today began our circumnavigation of Revillagigedo Island by way of Behm Canal. Just before we entered the canal we were treated to a couple of orcas swimming beside our boat. That was totally cool. In addition to the orcas we saw several humpbacks i…

Not sure where these days have gone. We have been kayaking, fishing, eagle watching, bear watching, spending time with Kurt and Becky, and soaking up the beauty of this incredible place. We are the only two boats left on the trip. Morningstar decide…

The weather forecast sounded like the perfect time to head out into Frederick Sound. We have learned that when crossing large bodies of water it is best to change your plans if necessary to take advantage of favorable weather and water conditions. So…
