We made it through southern & northern Canada, cruised in open ocean Queen Charlotte Sound unharmed, through the Hecate Strait, unharmed in Dixson Entrance and finally arrived in Ketchikan! North to Alaska!! Yay, we made it! From Ketchikan, we're now 659 miles from Seattle. Can you believe it? I am so proud of us. We're getting pretty good at this. It can be trying when you need to anchor though. Since the water is so deep up against the mountains, one has to find a cove or inlet shallow enough to drop anchor. Many of the inlets are bomb fields of rock and it's tricky trying to dodge the numerous rocks. One little mistake and it's all over. - We're enjoying our time sightseeing. Day before yesterday it was gorgeous in Ketchikan....shorts weather. Today, however, it's raining buckets, and all I want to do is stay inside. Here's some photograph's you may enjoy!
