Wednesday-May 22, 202
Our new adventure is to sail the Inside Passage from our homeport in Port Townsend to SE Alaska. The passage is a approximate 1000-mile-long waterway in that runs from Puget Sound, Washington to Skagway. We departed Point Hudson one week ago today, Wednesday-May 15,2024. We had planned on crossing the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the San Juan Islands but 3–4-foot waves with wind gusting up to 30 mph in the strait was bit challenging and we decided to take the longer, calmer route behind Whidbey Island to Deception Pass State Park where we spent several days.
On Friday we made our crossing to the San Juan Islands via Rosario Strait stopping at Roche Harbor to top of the fuel tanks and anchoring in Reid Harbor at Stuart Island. After a pleasant night at anchor, we crossed Boundary Pass and headed for Bedwell Harbor’s Canadian Customs Office. Proceeding to Prevost Island we anchored in the lovely Annette Inlet. The evening entertainment was seal watching, listening to the birds and enjoying the sunset. After years of dreaming, we are finally on our way.
