We are back down in British Columbia! It's been quite awhile since we've had internet access, so we have some catching up to do...
We left Wrangell on July 18th and anchored out in Santa Anna Inlet, then spent a night in Ketchikan, then another anchored night near the Alaska-Canadian border, and finally cleared customs in Prince Rupert on the 21st, which was a Sunday. We needed a minor repair to our dinghy outboard, and had that taken care of on Monday, then were off on Tuesday the 23rd to Hartley Bay, which is a First Nation (native) village. We then anchored in Mary Cove, working our way south, and then spent two nights in Codville Lagoon. The weather report was not good for crossing Queen Charlotte Sound, so we were spending more time "up north" than we would normally have. But, we had fun along the way! Our next stop was to Namu, an very unique, funky, community! We enjoyed it. Then to Dawson's Landing in River's Inlet, where they were catching fish but we didn't stay long enough to fish. We got up at 5:00 AM and were headed out by 5:30, and had a good crossing of Queen Charlotte and arrived in Sullivan Bay about 2:00 PM today. A VERY long day in the fog...
So, our Alaska adventure is drawing to a close. We will now head down to the Desolation Sound area to join some of our boating friends for some relaxation in the sun before we head home.
It has been such a rewarding experience to write this blog, and I have so enjoyed all the comments I have received - thank you so much! This will be my last entry. Enjoy the rest of the summer!
