Our anchorage at Appleton Cove was idilyc. BUT...... In the afternoon, it was full of horseflies! This was our first encounter with the aggressive beasts so we simply stayed on our boats, had dinner indoors and got to bed early.

We got up at 2:15 this AM in order to leave Appleton for Sitka at 3 AM. Timing was critical as we needed to hit the Sergius Narrows at slack water. Below is a shot of the moonrise in Appleton Cove taken at 2:50 AM this morning, just before our anchor was up. Daybreak comes early in Alaska.
We arrived in Sitka 9 hours later and are here one day ahead of schedule as Bowhaus has a port engine issue that needs a professional mechanic. We'll be here at least 6 days and can't wait to welcome friends in for the 4th of July Weekend.
