Pybus Bay to Red Bluff Bay Departing Cannery Cove and Pybus Bay we weren't sure what conditions we'd see out in Frederick Sound...likely some wind waves on the beam, but more importantly, how long would it take for the sporty conditions in Southern Chatham Strait Posted on 7 Jun 2024 Flotilla to Alaska Day 25
