Airship and Akeeva connected back in Ketchikan earlier this month with the plan to head south together for a ways. Sam and Anna were back from their adventure on Akeeva up to Prince William Sound, and after transiting through British Columbia they'll continue south to Mexico for the winter. Kevin and I plan to slow up a little bit through B.C. to enjoy a few spots we missed on the way north.

Armed with our negative Covid tests, we left Ketchikan in the afternoon and headed for Foggy Bay, where we ended up being the only two boats anchored in there. This has never happened before! It was beautiful but rainy, and so we have no photos.

We left our anchorage at first light and headed across Dixon Entrance for Prince Rupert. This too must have been a non-event, because... again no photos.
