Off to Ketchikan in the morning. I hope we are able to find moorage there. It's rumored to be in high demand around the 4th of July. 🤞!

Things that broke, in chronological order (2024)…
And what we did or didn't do about it... Kabola furnace ship hot water loop, inop. · We never did find the fix for this. Costica (Kabola genius) was aboard to help diagnose while we were still in Anacortes. Windlass · Turned out to be the breaker (Doh!). Just closed the breaker and voi-la! It worked. Thrusters (bow & stern). When we moved to Lithium batteries and installed new chargers, we forgot to account for the AGMs on the thrusters, so they had no chargers. · Installed AC-DC chargers (bow and stern) that run off the inverter. Not ideal, but it was expeditious. Woody came to Campbell River and brought two chargers and installed them – Thanks, Woody. Propane system for the gas cooktop. We had an intermittent very low flame to no flame if multiple burners were on....
In Foggy Bay, Alaska
We are experimenting with Blogger. Please be patient and we welcome all well-intentioned advice. This morning at 0742, we departed Prince Rupert, BC (see pic on right) for Brundige Inlet, BC, but after a few hours of motoring NNW, the weather was so favorable in Dixon Entrance that we decided to continue on to Foggy Bay, Alaska. We cleared US Customs while underway via CBPRoam without any issues. We snaked into the inner bay and dropped the hook at 1422. And Foggy Bay is aptly named; visibility is about 1/2 mile as verified by radar. Foggy Bay has a super tight tricky entrance to the inner bay. Beware the known uncharted rock just south of the islet as you enter the inner channel (I added it to our charts, see pic below). After a scary bit of steering to avoid what I thought were rocky shoals along the east side of the west islands, we are at last anchored in the inner bay; 35’ deep with 115’ of chain out; safe and snug. The “rocky shoals”...
Looking good. I envy the peace and solitude. Enjoy and happy 4th. Erik
ReplyDeleteHow many bottles are stashed on Blue Redd?
ReplyDeleteWe sealed-up about 4 cases for transport through Canada. We don’t want to inadvertently run afoul of their Customs Agency. For consumption through Canada we were restricted to a measly 4 bottles. I guess that’s why we transited Canada as quickly as possible. We will also selectively restock now that we are in Alaska.
