Leaving Little Port Walter, we motor north on Chatham Strait. We detour briefly to explore the narrow fiord of Patterson Bay. There is very little information about the inlet in our guide books but it looks to have deep water all the way up to its head. It is a beautiful six mile cruise to […]

As we work our way out Pybus Bay, a large group of sea otters are lazily bobbing up and down on the surface. Every year we see the sea otter population increasing in this area. They are very cute but the commercial fishermen despise them. They will eventually wipe out the crab population here as […]

The snow […]

They deploy their small skiff and three agents are soon motoring through the harbor. We are the only boat here so are sure they will come […]

The Nashville airport was spooky with hardly a soul around. Surprisingly, our flight was almost 60% full. I think this was because the airlines […]
