Video: Passage from Canada to Seattle

February 25, 2015

This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn. ~Bernhard DeVoto

Our boat didn't get smaller, the mountains just got bigger.

We can always count on Hoonah to have great crabbing.

We saw a coyote as we sailed into North Sandy Cove in Glacier Bay. At first Natalie thought it was a wolf.

Sailed past a cruise ship at Cannery Point and realized it's the one we took across the Pacific in 2018!

We sailed up to South Marble Island in Glacier Bay to see the sea lion colony. There were tons! No puffins yet unfortunately.

We spent the last 6 days in Glacier Bay. The weather this May has been fantastic. Several days of sunny clear skies made a stark contrast to our 10 day visit last late May when it was overcast, rainy, and cold almost every day.

After Dundas Bay we had the fortune of meeting up with new friends in Elfin Cove and going for a sail with them to the west coast of Yakobi Island.

From the northwest arm of Dundas Bay we took the dinghy up river at high tide, going about 2 miles up river with gorgeous scenery.

Wildlife of Dundas Bay.
