Time to leave Skagway. We departed with no real plan, other
than to head south towards Haines. The first viable anchorage was Taiyasanka
Harbor. My go-to Southeast Alaska guidebook, Exploring Southeast Alaska, didn’t have any info on this spot, but
it looked good on the chart.

Mountains surrounding Taiyasanka Harbor |
We found good anchorage along the south shore in about 50 feet
of water, mud bottom, excellent holding. For being almost unmentioned in the
guidebook, Taiyasanka Harbor is a beautiful spot. Ferebee Glacier is visible to
the north, jagged peaks to the south. A wreck of some type is on the south
shore, easily accessible.
