tparrent":1sng0wwc said:100 days in the Broughtons certainly sounds epic in many ways.
Being at anchor most days so early, how did you spend your time? Hiking, fishing, reading, contemplating life's mysteries?
Short answers to both questions. Not wanting to hijack the thread.
Sunrise is early that far north, 0400, and light enough to read before that. The mornings are quiet water, no winds usually, and little traffic. I'm up, check the weather while I am getting ready for the day, and anchor up usually by 06. Sometimes I would only go across the way a couple of miles. (Usually based on looking for prime bear producing areas.) Sometimes it was whale watching. depending on the whim of the day, the weather prediction or whatever.
Mostly I was along for the ride, taking pictures. Some reading each day, and studying the areas. Some hiking, picking berries and beach combing. Resting from 40 years of working on call, 24/7. Getting back to "normal". I did run across a few C-Dorys, over the summer, made some friends on the water, and saw some epic nature.
