Just curious for future reference, when you mentioned the Forest Service Dock with bears and whales, where was that at? Keeping notes for next summer! Smile Colby


Colby, of course you never know where the whales or bears will be for sure on any given day or trip, but this year they were near the forest service dock we spent the night & added photos to in our album & located 11 miles up Port Fredrick from Hoonah to the narrows, then to the port side one mile up Salt Bay. The other forest service dock & rentable cabin is to starboard 3.5 miles up 8 fathom bite.

I will try & add photos of Delorme In Reach to make it more clear

Colby, this shows Hoonah & Port Fredrick in relationship to Juneau. Some of our tracks this year are in yellow.

This shows where we are now in the Hoonah Marina & the blue square is the location of dock in Salt bay


In the upper left where most of the tracks meet near shore is the location of other dock near cabin.

Don't go up into the Salt Chuck near low tide. Between the dock & Salt Chuck is where the Bushman Alaska family had there supposed home.

For folks following along - You can view live FAA Aviation Weather Cams. Several of the cameras are close to where Hunkydory is traveling. They give you a good idea of the sky and water conditions. https://avcams.faa.gov/

This afternoon we were requested to move over to the other side of the dock to make room for this yacht.

I believe Daedalus is owned by Boeing. A Delta 151 foot with two 1000 HP Cats, and a range of over 6,000 miles....It would cost about $70,000 to fill up her fuel tanks for a nice voyage.

Yes Boris, it was well underway when we arrived in Skagway 5-22 with 4 cruise ships there docked. They were leaving Skagway that afternoon as we were headed to Haines. The next morning shortly after leaving Haines at 3:30 am, we passed their replacement of 4 more. These gave us some substantial wakes along with a stiff morning breeze. Luckily not much after the wakes died off the breeze did to, so a nice cruise all the way to Hoonah.

5-28. We spent most of the day at the refurbished Icy Point cruise ship attraction & most there by a wood fire looking out at the feeding whales with some less then a hundred yards off shore. By the fire we talked to a nurse from South Africa, that works full time on the cruise ships traveling around the world. She says of all their port stops, Icy Point here by Hoonah is her favorite.

Tomorrow the weather is finally changing for the better with a forecast of up to a week of more sun then not & for the most part light winds, so early in the morning we're out to Icy Strait & then down Chatham for Little Biscuit Bay, Targatz Bay, Warm Springs bay, Red Bluff Bay, Angoon & Kootznahoo Inlet, then Hoonah Sound & then finally on this leg, Sitka, before heading on the outside waters to Pelican. Of course the good weather won't last that long, but we will make the best of the good while it last.

Jack, I appreciate your comments & someday hope to make it up your way

Jay

Amazing, I was actually planning a similar trip for next year. Do you have a blog of some sort where we can read more about your stories? And in more detail? Am sure many would appreciate it here!

Keep it up,

J, no I don't do a blog, but I have written up all of our cruises in SE Alaska & posted them in this Grand Adventure Forum along with many videos. Also many photos in my album here. You'll find perhaps more detail in some of my past write ups. With covering so much of the same waters over the last 16 years here in SE Alaska, I'm somewhat burnt out on the writing, but definitely not the cruising. I continue to do the writing, because I know it's appreciated by many here on the C-Brat site & I share much the same with my Facebook friends.
