Wrangell to Petersburg, AK 06.16.2013

Working with the tides to catch Wrangell Narrows we pulled away @ 9:445am AK. 

Stopped here & there to try our hand at fishing.  Only rock fish, Bruce couldn’t get the bait past the rock fish to reach the salmon!!




 

Ron had a good salmon on the line but as he drew it to the boat it got away! Darn!  Better luck next time!

 


How about this view off the back deck! 

 


What a wonderful day for traveling!

Taking the Wrangell Narrows into Petersburg was very interesting.  This is a snake-like channel that has 63 different aids to navigation in the space of 21 miles – helping us boaters to clear shoals and islets.  There is one part on this channel that is really skinny – only 100 yards wide!  While we were attempting to clear this skinny section of the channel a small fishing boat decided that they wanted to fish going right down the middle of the channel!!

 
 
 


We are located in the North Marina and plan to stay here for a couple of nights. 

Tonight is dinner on Ron & Lynn’s boat Contessa.  We are having Phai Thai using the prawns that we caught and the last of our crab!
