Well what do you know, we are back in the Internet business. We just landed in Craig and found an excellent wireless connection which has allowed me to post the pictures I wanted to add to the previous text only entries. So for those of you who are interested you can you can go back and re-open the postings back to July 14 and see the pictures.
We left Sitka around noon after I went to an electronic store to get a new screen for my Espar diesel heater. The current version has become plugged up and as a consequence we blow partially burned diesel fumes out the exhaust for some time as we try to fire it up. We have solved this problem at docks by switching to a portable electric cabin heater but we would like to have the diesel heater working for running and at anchor. As it stands now, the heater still works albeit not well so the screen remains for a doomsday fix.
We met a couple in Appleton Cove who brought their 33 foot sailboat all the way from Hawaii. The passage took three weeks and according to the owner was a fairly easy crossing from Hawaii to Kodiak Island.
We anchored among a million crab pots in the cove which is really well protected from Peril Strait and enjoyed a quiet night before heading out the next day back into Chatham Strait.
