Pybus Bay to Chapin Bay Frederick Sound cooperated nicely and we enjoyed a smooth, quick cruise from Cannery Cove to Chapin Bay.

Swanson Harbor to Admiralty Cove We'd planned for today to be short, just a 10nm hop across Chatham Strait to Funter Bay.

Le Conte Glacier is the southernmost tidewater glacier in the northern hemisphere We decided to spend three nights in Petersburg.

Meyers Chuck to Thoms Place We awoke to decidedly un-Alaskan weather: bright sun (even at 4:00 a.m.), warm temperatures (eventually the mid-70s), and light wind. With only four hours to get to Thoms Place, we didn't rush out of Meyers Chuck. Posted on 28 May 2019 Days 19-20 - Flotilla to Alaska
Our time in Ketchikan Our time in Ketchikan has been spent shopping, doing chores, reprovisioning, visiting the marine stores and museums, and eating out. Ketchikan centers up and down one main street (Tongass Avenue) so it's relatively easy to get from here to there Posted on 27 May 2019
