We really enjoy finding spots we haven't visited before that we could show to future guests or flotillas, so we make it a point to seek them out.

For this trip over to Prince of Wales Island we planned to focus on Cholmondeley Sound. From the chart, it looked like our choices were Kitkun Bay, Dora Bay, East Arm, and West Arm. All looked intriguing, but we opted to start at the closest one: Kitkun Bay.

The weather cleared up in Ketchikan on our last night in port, which was a nice change from the rain!

We cruised north in Tongass Narrows and across Clarence Strait in gorgeous conditions. Blue skies, a little fog in the distance, and calm seas.
