Waterfalls

Another early day with nearly 90 nautical miles ahead to Klewnugget Cove.

A windless, gray day with smooth water for making another long passage. The first challenge was getting through adverse current in Hiekish Narrows that slowed our boat speed to 4 knots for about an hour. We had become accustomed to favorable current almost the entire time since we left, so it felt very slow.

Soon we entered Graham Reach and were back up to speed, passing numerous waterfalls on both sides, some bursting from the trees to cascade into the water.

Waterfall spotted on the forward deck.

Grenville Channel gave us a nice lift with speeds of 9-10 knots as the water swept us to our anchorage in Klewnugget Inlet Marine Park. Early to bed for tomorrow’s 95 mile push to Alaska with a dicey weather forecast.
