Almost to Alaska

N 54 36.307, W 130 53.466
Brundige Inlet, Dundas Island, Canada

Since we could not get moorage in Prince Rupert and the weather looked favorable we decided to continue north. Of course there was plenty of fog at Prince Rupert but after we got around Digby Island it started to clear up. We had little or no wind all day. In fact the most wind we had was 10 knots and that was as we were preparing to anchor. Go figure.

After we anchored we brought the dingy on the foredeck, deflated it and secured it on the foredeck. Before we left Seattle we had a fixture made that replaces the mid-deck dorade guard and holds the aft section of the dingy when it is upside down. With the dingy upside down and deflated, we can secure it to the forward cleats and the two handrails on the mid-deck. This keeps the dingy from moving around when we are on passage and it will not interfere with sailing or anchoring or going forward on the jacklines.

Tomorrow we plan to cross Dixon Entrance to Ketchikan. It is about 60 miles. A long, long day.

No worries,
SV Windarra
