Doable......80 miles. Hope you have good conditions. The Dundas Islands will give you some cover from most winds and swells for a while....that will help. We always have a shot of gin when we get to the other side. Same with Cape Caution.

Don't encourage them!!!
I may have to deal with them if I am not outbound as they are inbound to Ketchikan tomorrow. As I said earlier- may have to schedule a AA meeting on arrival.Al-Ketchikan

Here is my Canadian weather site that I swear by. Trust it and back it up with Windyty
Dixon Entrance East - North Coast - Environment Canada
As you can see, the Wed. forecast which is the day I want to jump is now giving me second thoughts. North West 25-35 is way, way more than this Mother's little boy wants to play boat in. It will be sunny but windy.

Day to day, so for sure. I started asking some of the "Old" Girls of the "Line" if they wanted to cheer you both into town, when they heard that part of the crew was ex-Navy the party went down hill. Confirmation of that is the following article. Food over booze. One old Master Chief still recalls, Old Crusty may know the Barnacle Back

Oh, Man.....Lumpy is kinda lame. The Admiral did not enjoy that trip.
3 weather apps, and we still got it wrong. 6 footers (or more) at 4-5 seconds made for a long day.
After coming around Dundas Island the slop started and got worse. I headed for the lee side (east side) of Duke as the swell and wind waves were from the west. We estimate the wind was 30 plus knots. Once we made it to the bottom of Duke Island I turned due North and the ride was much better. ASD continued up the west side of Misty Fiords, Tacking as he made headway slowly but surely.
We have now tied up in Ketchikan and will probably spend the next few days recuperating, fixing broke stuff, provisioning and maybe play "Tourista's".

That sounds very unpleasant. Glad you made it safe.

Looking at your smile I am pretty sure that only the AA box remains now, not even a drop of elixir left
