On to Alaska! The weather forecast called for decreasing
winds throughout the day, so we weren’t in any rush to leave. We ended up
shoving off around 7:30 a.m. Winds were light and transiting Venn Passage was
uneventful.
Our good luck with weather continued. The sun unexpectedly
shone and wind was light all day.

We spotted some very active humpbacks (though they were far
away) and had only a light swell to contend with. Three of the boats opted to
skip Foggy Bay and run straight to Ketchikan. The rest of us enjoyed a very
relaxing afternoon and evening in Foggy Bay. I spotted a bear when entering the
bay. Once I had the anchor set I hopped in the dinghy for a closer look.

Tomorrow we’ll make the final 35 mile run into Ketchikan.
