Guess what Jay? The cruise ships have arrived.

The weather in S.E. Is going to crap this weekend. Strong winds and big seas with lots of rain, up to four inches over the weekend. Looks like Tenakee might be a good place to be for a few days. I was planning to launch Blue Moon today and possibly meet up with you but it doesn't make much...

It looks like Jay and Jolee headed out of Hoonah and up Frederiick Sound to it's end and likely tied up to the old Forest Service dock at Eight Fathom Byte. That's about 40 miles east of Juneau as a crow flies. It's a beautiful area but if the weather there is anything like Juneau, they are...

Jay and Jolee. You gotta know that I live vicariously through you. You are always here in my back yard doing what I'd rather be doing than working. I'd pretty much figured you'd be done and gone by the time I got out of the office, but on my my home, I spied a 22' way out at the end of the...

I've got one. It was nice when it still worked.. Batteries appear to be ok and take a charge but it comes on for a few seconds then shuts down. Started to troubleshoot it and then left it in a heap. Not worth my time. Might buy another if the price is right.

There is one in Valdez, Alaska, owned by a friend of mine. The boat has done a good job for him in some pretty nasty seas. Inboard Yanmar.

Well Bob, I guess I'd have to see just how bright and attention getting it is. I spend a fair amount of time looking out on the water at various and sortid lights and unless the signal was really significantly different and attention grabbing, I'm not sure it would spring me into action. Now...

Wow, you moved out fast. Darned Northern Lynn Canal is nearly always in a small craft warning so you gotta move when you can. We are headed out toward Icy Straight in the morning and we were thinking we might time it right to run into you on your way north. From the Delorme, it looks like you...

Stephens Passage was windy and white caps much of yesterday. Saw a number of whale watching boats heading out, only to turn around and head back as they approached Retreat.

Jay and Jolee. I sent you a pm. Let me know if you want the truck tomorrow. If you call early, I can drop by the harbor on my way to work and you can drop me off. I'll be up at six if you are moving then. Hell of a trip.

Jay and Jolee, By your Delorme, it looks like you're in or near the same slip we were in a week ago today. We saw maybe forty whales up at cape Fenshaw on our way home and had to cross the area with great care. We did a cruise from Juneau to Couverden, Hoonah, Port Frederic, Tenakee, Warm...

Can someone tell me where to find a link or way to check Discovery's Delorme position? Uh, never mind. Found it.

Bon voyage. Guessing you made Swanson Harbor ok since it looks pretty calm out there from here at the cove anyway. Can be two different seascapes between here and there though. Hope all goes well but remember to let us know if you need anything at all.

There was a CD25 that tangled the anchor line in the prop and got swamped by the tide and lost in in Cook Inlet a few years back.

I can't think of anyone else I would feel more comfortable doing this trip with than Jay and Jolee. They have gone to places most people with a lifetime of S.E. Ak boating haven't. They can do it because of their prudence, the size of their craft and the extensive knowledge they have earned...

The hard part is finding a "marina" that has the ability to store a boat. Fisherman's Bend at Auke Bay has a lift and limited amount of storage mostly for winter months. Across from there, right next to the city owned Statter Harbor there is a small unsecured yard with a lift. Not sure what...

Thanks for this info. I'll pass it on. Says he's done with Lewmar. I don't know the whole story but apparently, talking to them didn't work out the way he wanted it to.

Anyone have a dysfunctional Lewmar 700 Pro? I've got a friend here in Juneau with a new windlass that has some chewed up gypsy teeth wanting to hold onto the rode and return it to the deck. He's pretty frustrated and about done with it. I figure there has to be a donor junker out there...
