Heading South

N 54 57.003, W 130 56.494
Foggy Bay, Alaska

We are on our way south.

This morning was overcast but not raining. It was a good decision to wait until today to head south. Of course, we are a little perplexed. All the time we have been heading north, the wind has been coming from the north, northwest, or from the direction we are going. Now we are headed back south and the wind is coming from the south, southeast or the direction we want to go. Is it something about us?

We are tucked away in a small anchorage with a narrow and shallow entrance. Luckily even though it is called Foggy Bay it is not foggy now and we hope it will not be foggy in the morning. It is one thing to enter when you can see the obstacles. Not being able to see them is a whole different story.

From our anchorage we can see across a drying area out into Revillagigedo Channel but we are protected and unaffected from the swell.

One of the guidebooks mentions that there are bears and martens in the area, so we will watch for them. No sign yet but there is a sign on shore that read, "Trap Line".

No worries,
SV Windarra
