The wind had calmed by the time I woke up. We had a lazy
morning in Sawmill Bay and headed out around noon.
Kevin and Laura went to Gustavus to pick up their friends Tiffani and Deke and I headed to Flynn Cove. Flynn Cove is on the north shore of Chichagof Island,
just a few miles west of Port Frederick.
Despite the calmer conditions in Sawmill Bay, Icy Strait was
still pretty rough. And my course from Excursion Inlet to Flynn Cove put the
seas directly on the beam. The salon table isn’t permanently attached to the
floor, and a few times each year the conditions are bad enough that it ends up
upside down. Today was one of those days.
Nothing broke, though, and it was only rough for an hour or
so. Flynn Cove was totally calm. I dropped the anchor near the head of the bay
in about 50 feet of water and had a lazy afternoon.

Kevin and Laura arrived in the evening with their friends,
Tiffani and Deke. They rafted to my boat and we had a late dinner. Tomorrow we
head to Hoonah for a flightseeing trip of Glacier Bay.
