With five people on the boat, I was worried about water
consumption over a 8 or 9 day trip. To partially allay these concerns, I
decided to top off the water tank in Kake. This would also give us the
opportunity to pick up additional groceries.
Chatham Strait was not as calm today as it had been the last
couple of days. Wind was blowing about 15 knots from the south, generating
enough of a chop to make for a rolly ride. I bumped the engine speed up to 1800
rpm to smooth out the ride and we made it across in good time. As soon as we
got into Frederick Sound conditions calmed down and we had a smooth ride into
Kake.
After groceries and water in Kake we headed for Pybus Bay.
Another boat occupied my preffered anchoring spot, so we anchored in Cannery
Cove. It’s a beautiful spot, but today was especially rainy. We didn’t even
launch the dinghy.
Tomorrow we’re off to Pack Creek. We’ll anchor there
overnight, then watch the bears the following day.
