We have spent 63 days in Alaska! We originally planned on 2 maybe 3 weeks in
Alaska but we were having such a good time we found ourselves wanting to take
in one more anchorage or one more city.
Working with the tides we pulled away from the Ketchikan dock
at 7:30am AK time. It was a beautiful
morning for travel.
We did run into a small area where we had fog. Here is a photo of the wall of fog ahead of
us.
And some of the fish boats we saw fishing while we were out
in the fog.
Heading south on Revillagigedo Channel to the head of Dixon
Entrance is Foggy Bay.
The entrance to the inner cove is a bit tricky and requires
a cautious approach. Once inside we
headed NE and looped around a small island and approached the reef on the E
side and then turning S through the narrow, very shallow channel, keeping a lookout
for rocks/reefs along the way. We
anchored in the harbor on the far eastern side of the bay which is well
protected from all weather.
Two other boaters we met while in Ketchikan also traveled
here today, Katmai and Barbie M. There
is also a Sam Devlin boat traveling this way today, when we left Ketchikan we
thought Mike might anchor in Kah Shakes Cove instead of Foggy Bay.
When we entered the bay, the S/V Mom, who we briefly met on
Tuesday while in the south arm of Rudyerd Bay, was already anchored in the
bay. And so was the Sam Devlin boat!
After getting settled
we had everyone from three of the vessels
on the back of the boat for appies & drinks until almost 7:30pm AK
time.
We all had a good time and laughed a lot!
(I think Kate enjoyed herself a little too much!)
Tomorrow its off for an early start to Prince Rupert,
Canada. We anticipate leaving @ 6:30am
AK time to catch the tides in our favor.
