We departed Klu Bay feeling on top of the world! We went to Marguerite Bay where there is a dock and a 1 mile trail to a lake with good trout fishing. On arrival we found 3 boats anchored and 1 on the dock. Pretty small cove with a float plane landing path and a […]

Norm went on land and checked out the cabin. Most of the sites where there is a mooring ball, there is also a cabin. I didn’t go because I see too many grizzlies. He didn’t go far! After picking up our crab traps, cleaning and cooking them in 2 batches and getting reorganized, it was

We’re on a mooring ball in Anchor Pass. The current and the wind are really whipping. Picked up our 2 traps this morning and this is what we got: 8 large males.

After 2 nights anchored in the upper arm of Rudyerd Bay, we moved 9 nm into Punchbowl Cove. There was 1 mooring ball and we got it! As we were turning into the cove a sail boat came from the other direction – it was a race! By the time we were hooked up to

Awesome and astounding! That is what we are experiencing every day. The mountains and waterfalls are majestic and constantly taking our breath away. We feel very blessed to be able to spend time immersed in nature. It’s been days now since we have seen any other people or boats. We are seeing grizzly bears multiple

We made it in a 2 day jaunt. Monday, June 7 we left Kumealon Inlet at 7 am. We only went 17 nm before putting the hook down in Lawson Harbor on the north end of Lewis Island, but then we are positioned to go across some very large water. I just saw in someone

We’ve had wonderful cruising. A couple very long days, and some really short days with just a two hour or so jaunt. Yesterday we had to stop the boat in the middle of the channel for the Orca Whales. It’s so great. We’ve been looking hard for a bear, and we know they are out

We left Shearwater at 8 am this morning, in the rain. The Waggoner Flotilla was also in Shearwater and they also left. About 10 boats altogether. We knew we had 2 areas today that we needed to arrive at the correct time so the current would be less going through a narrow inlet. Perceval narrows
