The weather for the opening of Buck hunting out in Prince William Sound was less than agreeable but we headed out in sloppy seas and decided after the Culros Exit that we were going to head into Blackstone Bay instead and meet up with Miss Charity. We had a fairly calm anchorage in Nellie Cove. […]

The SUNDOG skips mountain goat hunting in Johnstone due to 12 ft seas
When the SUNDOG departed Hogg Bay on Oct 3rd, they intended to mountain goat hunt in Johnstone Bay. Channel 16 said the weather was going to be rough but I had given them high hopes of better weather the night before after relaying the National Weather Service‘s check a point weather mapping site when they were leaving […]
Whittier to Seward for the winter
Well, Joe typically makes these blog posts but I thought I’d give it a try. He, Caleb, Kevin Stickler, Ryan Breese & Larry Carmichael headed to Whittier 7:15 am on Sunday morning.

After the stress of this evening… I wish I was on the boat, not Joe… Oh wait! I get seasick in 2 foot ocean swells. I think I’m better off here just praying for safety! 🙂 SundogCathy Out!!!!
Location Kayak Island June 23
Either I received the Spot locations out of order or they tried to enter Controller Bay and changed their mind and headed back into the Gulf of Alaska. They must have decided the passage was too rocky and decided to go around Kayak Island. I had a large “scare” with a phone call just as […]
Location Controller Bay Entry June 23
It looks like they’re crossing through Controller Bay’s islands rather than going around them.
Location Controller Bay June 23
