June 9, 2012 - Ketchikan to Kindergarden Bay - 64 Nautical Miles

We headed for Clarence Strait. The weather was warm and the sky was filled with bellowing clouds.  The water was like a mirror.  At times we felt like we were in a "Bubble" not knowing where the ocean ended and the sky began. 


It seemed like we were sailing in a "Surreal Universe".  We had these conditions for most of our passage.

It felt great to finally reach our destination of "Kindergarten Bay"on Etolin Island.

As we approach our Douglas Guide Book warns us of a rock in the middle of the narrow entrance.


Daniel navigates is VERY carefully and we enter without incident.


Louie goes to the bow to put the "HOOK"down.


As the tide recedes we see the infamous "ROCK"!



It is 11:00 PM and the sun begins to set.

Evening closes in and all is well.  We retire as the sun will rise again at 4:30 Am.

We will continue our journey to Wrangle Narrows and on to Petersburg.
