@tty yeah! It's the first time we walk on solid ground since Port McNeil, it's nice.  @neauoire southeast alaska is so lovely this time of year @clarity I'm certain it will be once we make it out of this thick fogbank, we can berely see further than Pino's bow. Have you ever been to LeConte glacier? We were thinking of heading there for a while : ) @neauoire I haven't!! Other than the ferries between Juneau Sitka and Ketchikan I've never really had the chance to boat around the channels. Really envious of yall tbh!

@tty It's been too fast! We came across lots of places that we have made a mental note of to return to and explore properly. We've been feeling a bit hurried by the weather because it's often favorable to go up, and we just can't resist wanting to sail north, so we cast off even tho we might be in places that we like. We don't have a strict plan, but we'll go meet some glaciers and things, but by end of july, we'll start making our way down to spend time in these nice places we found. Day 37: Ketchikan, AK -> Snug Cove, Prince Of Wales Island  @monkey1 relatively to our other recent passages, it's kind of a short day, only 7 hours! Really enjoying following your journey. I try to map it for myself and imagine what you might be seeing. My own trip of sorts. @monkey1 I'm glad to hear, I'm looking forward to talking it over coffee when we get back down Day 39: Snug Cove, Prince Of Wales Island -> Ratz, Prince Of Wales Island Day 40: Ratz, Prince Of Wales Island -> Snug Cove, Prince Of Wales Island Have we gone backward? Yes, yesterday skirted a bit too close to type III fun.  Day 42: Snug Cove, Prince Of Wales Island -> Frosty Bay, Clarence Strait Day 44: Frosty Bay, Clarence Strait -> Berg Bay, Clarence Strait  @neauoire well done to "snug cove" for having the most cozy sounding place name ever.
