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!

Our last 2 nights at anchor

We have enjoyed our nights at anchor so much and we can't recall having a bad one.   The gale we went thru in Pruth Bay wasn't fun but the  anchorage was beautiful.     

Leaving Shearwater on Friday, we returned to Fury Cove which was our first anchorage heading north.  Its white shell beaches make it one of the prettiest spots to drop the hook.

Fury Cove early Friday evening

 
And the  next morning.
    
Boaters often refer to August as Fogust. 

We left Fury Cove and crossed Cape Caution in fog with a low westerly swell.  It was a good crossing as we navigated with radar.  The fog lifted after a few hours.   

Our final anchorage last night was in Blunden Harbor  


 
A rainbow followed by this sunset made for a perfect final anchorage.

Earlier in the day we made water in our water maker and transferred some over to Doug and Margi's boat.  Margi proclaimed, "I've never had homemade water before!" 

 
This morning, we left Blunden in thick fog as we headed to Echo Bay

It looked like this:

And then it turned to this:
