My friend Erik flew into Juneau this morning. After picking
up groceries we wandered around downtown Juneau a bit before shoving off,
destination Tracy Arm Cove.
NOAA predicted 15 knots of wind from the south (against us)
in Stephens Passage, but they seemed to be wrong. Once out of Gastineau Channel
the wind was more like 20-25 knots, with steep, short interval 3-4 foot chop.
It was a wet ride to Tracy Arm Cove, though conditions calmed significantly
after Port Snettisham.

Tracy Arm Cove was as busy as I’d ever seen it. At least 10
boats were anchored there, including two in the 120+ foot range. Still, plenty
of room.
Tomorrow we’re forgoing Tracy Arm. Instead, we’ll head up
Endicott Arm, turn into Ford’s Terror for the night, then continue to Dawes
Glacier the next day.
