| Leaving Alaska |
It took us two days to go from Hydaburg to Prince Rupert, anchoring over in Nichols Bay at the very southern tip of Prince of Wales Island. We got caught in a poorly timed current and corkscrewed through rip tides, swells and choppy waves, grateful for the quiet bay that evening. It was a noisy, rocky anchorage and neither of us slept well. We awoke and departed by 4:00 AM, better timing took us out for the 50 mile blue-water crossing in calmer seas and light winds. Hours later, windless, we motored into aqua green, glassy Canadian waters. It is time to venture south with the last six weeks to be spent in warmer and sunnier climes.
