The box from Chewy.com arrived yesterday evening, unfortunately, too late for the kids’ supper. We gotta keep to a schedule…So this morning Dee Dee got her first helping of kangaroo. She liked it fine but then Labs really will eat pretty much anythin…
Charlestown Marina
Charlestown Marina was an excellent home base for the six weeks we spent in Boston. We chose it mainly because we could get a good long-stay rate there compared to the other marinas closer to downtown, but the marina worked out very well for touring around Boston and we’d happily return. The marina itself was…

Craig to Prince Rupert
We decided to bypass Ketchikan on our way out of Alaska this year. From Craig headed SE. We hit three new (to us, anyway) anchorages, Shelikof Island Cove, Mabel Bay and Hunter Bay in successive nights then headed for Hydaburg.
Hydaburg is primarily populated by members of the Haida native Alaskan clans. Cruising friends of ours had recommended Hydaburg to us for its native culture and friendly community. The last week of July they have Haida Culture Camp intended to spread and preserve Haida culture in the community. It is open to the public and we attended classes one day and then the closing feast event. The foundation for a new long house to be used in Haida cultural events was dedicated while we were there. We were terrifically impressed by the community spirit and the efforts they are going through to preserve their culture.
After Hydaburg, we sneaked around Cape Chacon and spent the night in Gardner Bay. It is to far (at least at our leisurely speeds) to make it to Prince Rupert in one day from the south tip of Prince of Wales Island. Instead, we crossed Clarence Strait, scooted around the north side of Duke Island and made our way to the mainland side of Revillagigedo Channel. Our last night in Alaska for 2016 was in Foggy Bay, the same anchorage we used for our first night this year.
An early start the next morning, the first day of August, got us into Prince Rupert at the Prince Rupert Rowing & Yacht Club (PRRYC) by 1 PM (and that is with losing an hour going from AKDT to PDT). We’ll spend a couple of nights in Prince Rupert before continuing the slow journey south. Our rough schedule has us rounding Cape Caution, the exposed section that separates the northern portion of the BC Inside Passage from the southern portion, towards the end of August.
Kangaroo Anyone?
Since Dee Dee was a tiny pup we have had problems with ear infections. She visited half the vets along the Great Loop that first year. We’ve tried allergy medicine, ear washes, grain-free foods, fish only, even bison diets. Nothing worked over the long…
Plugging Away
Or should I say, unplugging away. Drilling holes in the hull I’ve worked so hard on to get watertight is a bit unnerving! ;-)You caught a glimpse of the skeg in the last post. I’ve drilled holes in it, no small feat, to align the key components, the ru…
Cape Cod
The Cape Cod National Seashore is a 43,600-acre National Park on the end of Cape Cod, about a 2.5-hour drive from Boston. The park includes popular beaches, historic lighthouses, and excellent walking and bicycle trails. It also contains the site of Marconi Station, where the first two-way wireless radio transmission across the Atlantic occurred. We…
Regina Pizzeria
Going out to grab a pizza is hardly an event, but it is at Regina Pizzeria. Founded in 1926, Regina Pizzeria is the oldest pizza house in New England and extremely popular with tourists and locals alike. After doing a couple of boat projects, we walked from Charlestown Marina to Regina Pizzeria in Boston’s historic…
