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.

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.
