This morning the plan was to transit Jackson Narrows about an hour before low slack...giving us a little more water under the keel and maybe only a slight bit of current against us, but we actually had a little current with us, so apparently it had already turned. We all made it through just fine and it was a fun piloting challenge!

The rest of our cruise today through Jackson Passage and up Finlayson Channel was calm, gray, and beautiful.

We arrived at Khutze Inlet and there was only one other boat in the anchorage.
