Finally, a good weather window lined up with our plans to get on the outside of Baranof Island for a few days!

We got up at 5am in Baby Bear to transit Sergius Narrows near the 5:30am slack, which meant (a) we got into Sitka before 9am, and (b) we were tired, so immediately after getting settled in our slip, we took a nap.

We'd been in touch with friends Dan and Eileen on their Nordic Tug 37 Fortunate, and they too were planning to go down the outside, so we decided to do some of it together!

Here's what we did last night with some of the Dungeness crab bounty we have...crab and spinach risotto. Super delicious. I cheat and make the risotto in the Instant Pot (apologies, Tom Colicchio, but it works pretty well and is so much easier that all that stirring!)
