We said goodbye to Kevin's brother Craig in Petersburg, and after a day or so to provision and do a few projects in Petersburg (and one more breakfast from The Salty Pantry!), we left around 9:30am and headed south through Wrangell Narrows.

We thought we'd first visit an anchorage we had not been to before — Red Bay, on Prince of Wales Island. The day started out pretty rainy, but had mellowed out a little bit by the time we arrived at Red Bay.

We cruised all the way up to the head of the bay and dropped the hook.

We were the only ones there and only when we left did we see one other boat anchored out near Flat Island. We put two crab traps out overnight, and in the morning pulled them up with four keepers. Score!
