The perfect weather was too good to last. Early this morning I awoke to heavy rain
pelting the cabin top. I got up briefly
to close some windows and then went back to sleep.
Originally I had thought about hiking a five-mile trail from
the Cascade Creek cabin up to an alpine lake today, but the rain put a damper
on those plans. Instead, I decided to
head north to Farragut Bay.
Not much to report on the trip up. With low clouds and heavy rain, I couldn’t
see much most of the time. I did hear
(on the radio) the Coast Guard interrogating boats and then boarding them for
unknown reasons. I doubt they make many
friends that way.
Just as I dropped the hook in Farragut Bay (I nestled into a
nook on Read Island) the rain and clouds started lifting. Not to miss out on the nice weather, I
paddled around a bit and walked on shore.
The grass was chest high in places and I didn’t want to startle a bear,
so I decided that kayaking was probably a better choice.

Around 6 the rain returned and was steady for the rest of
the night. Thomas Bay definitely seems
more interesting than Farragut Bay, but the mountains in Farragut Bay are
undoubtedly beautiful!
