    Wandering the Inside Passage to Alaska

    Julie, I appreciate you telling me that you enjoyed the web site. Meyers Chuck was one of the places we regret not staying longer. The view from the dock is even more spectacular at high tide...

    Wandering the Inside Passage to Alaska

    Thanks Fred, I hope we get a chance to meet. Penny and I have not sailed up to Maine in the last few years. We have no plans to do so. However, we like sailing Maine waters. We might even haul Wanderer up that way.

    Wandering the Inside Passage to Alaska

    :arrow: Pat, From what I've read and heard, you packed a lot of fun and adventure into your trip. I hope we'll have an 'eye-ball' chance to discuss our experiences some day soon. I know what you mean about making a fast trip. On the way out I took thousands of pictures over several months...

    Wandering the Inside Passage to Alaska

    Pat and Linda, You're right. C-Brats is quite a resource. Welcome to the group. I'm pleased that you liked the site and that it sparked interest in cruising out of Nashville. Patrick Byrd (Byrdman) and his family were our host for the Nashville gathering. It would be hard to beat their...

    The Broughtons

    The Broughtons evoke fond memories. Penny and I rate the area at the top of our list of places we visited on our trip this summer up the Inside Passage. Those memories were sharpened this week as I worked on our web site. Kwatsi and Echo Bay were our favorites. I hope you enjoy the area as...

    Wandering the Inside Passage to Alaska

    If any of you folks run into El and Bill of Halcyon fame, please give them a message for us. Tell them that we forgot to tell them about the Spirit Bear we saw in Foggy Bay. Now, I'll have to admit that we were drinking some of Casey's green scotch; so, the details are not real clear...

    Wandering the Inside Passage to Alaska

    Steve, Penny and I have not kept records on previous trips. I don't know if $50 is a good per day gas price. We wanted to make the trip. We estimated 3 nm per gallon and did a wild guess on miles. Then, we threw out all the figures because we didn't like the answers and went anyway. We do...

    Wandering the Inside Passage to Alaska

    It was still raining the morning of July 12th. Visibility was poor, very poor. We had planned to visit Pierre’s and Kwatsi; but, decided that dock activity would not be enjoyable in the rain. Wanderer moved on and two hours later we topped up the tanks in Lagoon Cove and headed out into...

    Wandering the Inside Passage to Alaska

    Thanks for the kind remarks. As soon as we catch up, after being home only 10 days in the last eight months, I'll try to bring our web site up to date. Yes, we made a fast trip from Wrangell to Anacortes. I make a distinction between cruising and travelling. We spent our cruising time at a...

    Wanderer is in Echo Bay after a fast passage south from Wrangell. Halcyon, Rana Verde and Wanderer left Wrangell on July 5 and spent the night in Berg Bay. The next day we went up the Bradfield Canal scanning the deltas for bears. That night we dropped anchor in Vixen Harbor near the junction...
