Welcome back! It has been a little while since I loaded a new video, but for the next few months, I will attempt to have a new one every week for ya’ll!
This one takes us from just north of Ketchikan in Ratz Harbor up into Sumner Strait and to Point Baker where we spend the night. From there, we battle some adverse current, run into some fog, and then head around Cape Decision into Clarence Strait. We use all the daylight and push on into the night to anchor in “The Mud Hole” in Port Malmesbury.
The scenery around Cape Decision was very daunting, and I can only imagine what a storm would be like there with the full force of the Pacific Ocean staring at you in the face!
For the skiers in the crowd, stay tuned to the end of this one for a sneak peek of things to come!
Thank you to Michiel from SV/Joy for the thumbnail photo! We came across them right near Cape Decision and exchanged information over the radio. They were the only other cruising boat we saw between Ratz Harbour in Clarence Strait and Baranof Warm Springs three days later, and the first sailboat sailing in weeks!

Their blog is in Dutch, but Google translate does a fair job of translating into English, or lots of other languages, too!

How To Replace Rigging & Emergency OFFSHORE Repairs
Here is a quick video showing how we dealt with our failing lower aft stay while 1000 miles offshore on our way from Hawaii to Alaska, and then how we replaced it once we arrived to Alaska. In retrospect, I would have carried lengths of dyneema to serve as emergency rigging, but we worked with what ...
Sailing Glacier Bay National Park Aboard A 33 ft Sailboat

Sailing 3,000 Miles Across the Pacific on a 33ft Sailboat

The early days tested us: light winds, ...
