Hi all,
Finally returned after an adventurous trip between Puget Sound and SE Alaska. Recent retirement allowed sufficient time to make this trip last all summer season, which is the way it really should be done. One of my trip goals was to stay off the grid, so I haven't been posting or even checking email for much of the summer.

May 25 – depart Ketchikan, 10 days in Kasaan Bay and Cholmondeley Sd, then head around Revillagidego I and Misty Fjords anchorages, Yes Bay, Meyers Chuck, Vixen Harbor, Santa Ana Inlet, Berg Bay, Wrangell, St John Harbor, Red Bay, Duncan Canal, arrive Petersburg June 16.

July 4 – depart Juneau, Couverden Cove, Flynn Cove, Neka Bay, Hoonah, 7 days in Glacier Bay, then Tenakee Springs, Pavlof Hbr, Funter Bay arrive Juneau (Auke Bay) July 18.

Total miles traveled: 3240.8
Engine hours: 508.0
Total days onboard: 4 months, 12 days
Unexpected maintenance: 2 hours out of Edmonds on May 2, high output alternator bearing started to complain, replaced with spare. Alternator rebuilt in Port Angeles and shipped to Ketchikan for pickup.
I'll post a few pics next week along with my fuel summary. Jay
