11 years ago, we sailed the Inside Passage aboard a very bare boned Catalina 27 from Port Hardy, all the way up to Juneau and back. I posted a video of this trip in the past, but decided to re-edit it to improve the audio and flow with the (relatively) retro footage I captured.
In this episode, we continue on from Bishop Bay on the central coast of British Columbia up to Petersburg, Alaska. We see lots of whales, enjoy a ton of sunny weather, and battle to windward against the NW winds that come with clear weather in this part of the world. Part 2 ends in Wrangle Narrows, and with a montage of what is coming up in part 3!
If you missed part 1, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/5Roiw5iEtRA
I hope you enjoy this re-edit! This time, the music is from the free YouTube audio library, which did not exist when I first made a video of this trip a decade ago!

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
Join us as we sail into the incredible Glacier Bay. Wonderful gentle sailing brings us into the upper bay where the mountains tower above and glaciers spill off them all the way to the ocean. Once at anchored in Reid Inlet, we leave the boat to head on a fun little glacier walk. Enjoy! Thanks so...

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

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