Seven Fathom Bay

Seven Fathom Bay, AK

Bob cooked up some Salmon and we had Salmon Salad for lunch and did a few chores.

The bay is so nice and the buoy is easy and secure so we decided to stay here for the night. Bob took Inga for shore duty and we made some chai and are hanging out for the afternoon. Still no Internet so this will be posted when we get in range of Sitka.

We left Redfish Bay at 06:30 and headed North it was light rain and little wind. When we got out in the ocean there was a 5 foot swell and lots of chop from all directions. I think the waves move all different directions because of the high, rocky shore that reflects the waves. In any case it was uncomfortable going and Inga especially was not happy.

After about 3 hrs of going in the lumpy seas we could get back inside at Windy Passage and we decided to tie up to a Forest Service buoy in Seven Fathom Bay and have some lunch.

No Internet in Port Alexander so this will post when I get connected, probably Sitka.

We left Bay of Pillars at 09:30 and headed south to meet up with Walt and Lee who were fishing off Pt. Cosmos. When we got there Walt threw out a bag, hooked to a float, with Salmon in it....it had two fish that totaled about 25 lbs. So now we have Salmon, plenty of Salmon and it was swimming this morning. Mmm mmm good. And, we owe Walt big time.

After getting the fish we headed across Chatham Strait toward Cape Ommaney, the southern most tip of Baranof   Island. There wasn't much wind and some swell from outside but much easier going than it could be in stormier weather. 

We headed north and entered Redfish Bay. It is really remote and not may visit here because it is on "the outside" and the access can be really rough. Inga got her trip to shore and now Chef Bob is fixing fresh Salmon.
