Sitka on the 16th is the goal

We will likely not have email or phone now until the 16th so just wanted to say Cheers. Will update then as we will be spending 3 days unwinding before Cathy and the kids fly home and my crew fly down to cross the gulf with me. Blessings. Joe

Amongst the Working Boats – Petersburg

http://gallery.me.com/sundogjoe/100724 Thursday June 9th We pushed against the tide working our way through the narrows for most of the way slowed down to 4kts at one point as we pushed against the flood.  The Wrangell narrows is about 20 miles long and has 60 navigational aids to work through and is much like running a […]

In Wrangell

Wrangell   http://gallery.me.com/sundogjoe/100717   Yesterday morning we woke up to wind and in fact we had been bouncing around most of the night at the dock which actually helped the triplets to sleep.  We had a quick pow wow at the docks and it was small craft advisory in Clarence strait but it looked like […]

Prince Rupert To Brundige Inlet

Woke up at 4:45 hoping for a calm exit out of Prince Rupert but the fog was pea soup thick so we sat tight until it finally started to clear around 8:00.  It was a good thing we waited as the Venn passage is a tricky windy route that requires some attention and it was […]
