We made it to South East Alaska

Well we are here in Elfin Cove AK, just north east of Cape Spencer.We just took a tour around here and it is a very cool place,reminds me of Halibit Cove in kachemak Bay.Had a good crossing across the gulf,mostly following seas until about a day out then got some easterlies .We left Cordova at 1500 on Monday July 13 and arrived here at 1100 Thursday.I must talk about our route out of Cordova,its out Orca Inlet which is very shallow water and has channels you have to follow to a tee.I took the advise of some locals and found the best way out to save me about 60 miles off the trip.It was hair rasising to say the least.I draw 5 feet of water and at times i saw 6 feet but never hit bottom even with the swell.It is not a common route for sailboats only for fisherman but it worked out good and i can say i crossed the Copper River bar in a sailboat.After that it was a 24 hours a day grind to get across the gulf to calmer waters.From here we will work our way to Juneau Ak.Will leave here in the morning and hopefully be there by Saturday.will talk to you all soon.

peace
