Another town and another whirlwind! We arrived around 5pm and headed for pizza, afterwards Fynn and Opa reeled in some herring. The first day was devoured by the forestay replacement. Dad was a huge help in the morning, working right up till he left to catch their flight. Then came Tor and Jess and, Read More

Interesting name right? Apparently it was named after a guy entered at slack water then was stuck in the inlet until next slack water, which I guess he found pretty terrifying. Not sure what is so scary here though. Rather it is exceptionally beautiful – as Jess said it is like driving your boat, Read More

The main todo with Gloria and Micheal was Tracy Arm, and it didn’t disappoint. We anchored at Tracy Arm Cove and rafted up with Yare. After cruising together in Mexico and Hawaii it was great to have our first raft up. The kids were so happy to see it other it was a dance party, Read More

It was a whirlwind, dropping  Ken and Tia off at Gustavas, having my stitches removed at the clinic then starting the 60 mile run to Juneau. On route a humpback passed just in front of our bow, then did a massive breach 100 yards off our stern, left a pec fin hanging then was, Read More

We weren’t sure if we would make it to Elfin Cove, a little bay on the outside of Chichagof Island but the weather was so miserable that we figured we might as well motor over as there was little else to do. I am glad that we did, although the highlight was motoring through, Read More

We had five nights in Glacier Bay and 4 of them were in perfect sunshine. Without the last day of low cloud and fog we may not have appreciated the sunshine for the glory that it was! We were welcomed into our first anchorage by a pod of humpbacks lunge feeding at the surface., Read More

Flynn Cove was lovely. We have been branching out from Charlie’s Charts (our only guide book) as it lists very few anchorages, and just heading for ones that look reasonable on the charts. Flynn cove was one of those. As evening set in a killer whale entered the bay and fished the shores. We, Read More

Hoonah is a little secluded town, with a large population of Tglint (say CLING-it) locals. The houses are mostly derelict, but enough are painted in bright cheerful colours that makes the town look happy on the surface. Not that we got too deep into the local vibe here. The natives are reserved, not necessarily, Read More

We left early in the morning to get to Tenake with time to explore. Fynn woke up when we were hauling the prawn trap. She just doesn’t sleep through the noises like she used to. Regardless of the tired toddler we were stoked to see about 20 prawns in the trap. That is a, Read More
