About Us

My photo
We are friends who share a love of boating~~Doug, Margie, Ginnie, Torben & Chester (our 5 year old Havanese, pictured in Ginnie's lap) on Main Attraction, a 56 foot Navigator, and Margi & Doug on Bowhaus, a 36 foot Grand Banks. From mid-May through mid-August 2016, we are embarking on the longest cruise of our life times. This is the summer of our Grand Alaskan Adventure. We've been planning for months and now we are ready!

Weathered in

20 knot winds and 3 to 4 foot seas in the Wrangell Narrows this morning kept us on the dock in Petersburg another day.  It's dreary and raining here (still) and it looks calm in this photo but, just a short distance from port, it's another story.  Tomorrow through Thursday are looking much better so we hope to be in Wrangell, Meyers Chuck, Ketchikan, and Foggy Bay on those days.  Foggy Bay is the point from which we must cross the Dixon Entrance to reach Prince Rupurt.  That's the longest open water crossing on our journey so it's a very weather dependent decision.  Today, we put on our rain gear and walk about town.  Tomorrow, we head south through what we hope to be a much calmer Wrangell Narrows.
