Sac Bay

N 52 32.057, W 131 40.508
Sac Bay, De La Beche Inlet, Moresby Island, Juan Perez Sound

As we traveled from Echo Harbor we saw a group of 7 kayakers, heading the opposite direction in Darwin Sound. The wind was down around 2 knots and the seas were flat.

As we entered De La Beche Inlet, a rigid inflatable went zipping by us with 6 passengers, and 3 kayaks overhead on a framework. They dropped off 2 people and 1 kayak in Sac Bay just before we came in. The kayakers left after about an hour. This evening another rigid inflatable with only the driver came through but no kayakers here.

Rich worked on the port side power winch. The winch works but not the power part which we suspect is due to a faulty relay. It looks like another project for San Francisco. I have been reading the sailing directions and options for anchorages further south.

This anchorage has a narrow entrance and steep sides. At the far end there is a waterfall that is barely a trickle keeping the rocks wet. You can see some of the alpine meadow area above the head of the bay.

No worries,
SV Windarra
