Nismeni Cove, Baranof Island, Peril Strait Sunday 06.30.2013

We started out this morning at 8:30am after enjoying a hot breakfast before our 73 mile journey.  We think today is our longest leg so far on this journey. 

The wind was from the north keeping the 2’ chop on the stern most of the way south down Chatham Strait.  Otherwise pleasant weather and sun.

We saw a few more whales today at the intersection of Chatham Strait and Peril Straits.



 

We had planned to anchor in Hanus Bay but got reviewing the tides and realized that we needed to be at Sergius Narrows 2 hours before the Sitka high-water slack – that being @ 6:30am AK time!  You know what this means…. A really early start tomorrow morning!  A record on this journey also.

Anchored in 30’ feet of water and we were the only boat in the cove for the evening.
