After
leaving Tracy Arm, we anchored in Cleveland Passage. Jason and Von =
took
the dinghy to check out an old abandoned fox farm. This was an old
cabin. |
|
|
|
Jason
fishes hard like his father. |
|
|
|
On
another afternoon we anchored among some islands in =
Keku
Strait. The anchorage is called Lord's Pocket. This was =
our
view from the anchorage looking out onto Stephens Passage. |

|
On a
tip from a friend and long-time Alaskan, we stopped at a halibut hole.&nb=
sp;
Both Chuck and Jason caught a halibut. This is Jason with his catch=
. |
|
|
|
Working
our way back up Chatham Strait heading back to Sitka, we stopped at Red B=
luff
anchorage. I guess this is why they call it 'Red Bluff'. |
|
|
|
Red
Bluff was a beautiful anchorage. This is taken at the head of the
inlet. There is a large stream in the foreground. We saw anot=
her
grizzly eating grass here also. |

Here is
a photo of the waterfall at Red Bluff that Jason and Von took from the
dinghy. |

It was
waterfalls everywhere in Red Bluff. Just a beautiful place!<=

Before
returning to Sitka, we stopped in Kalinen Bay=
to do
some serious salmon fishing. Jason didn't catch his King but did ca=
tch
two fine silvers. |

On July
1st, the waters outside our anchorage were rough and the outboard refused=
to
run. No salmon trolling today! We had to start back as the ki=
d's
vacation time was coming to an end. Just outside of Sitka, we stopped at a
place where a few other boats were fishing. It was a drizzly, gloom=
y kinda day until Jason and Chuck started catching
fish. The first was the 18 pound Pacific Cod (far left) that Jason
caught immediately after putting his bait into the water. Then Chuck
and Jason caught these halibut within the next 45 minutes. Needless=
to
say, we arrived in Sitka with a freezer full of cod and halibut. The
cod was absolutely delicious! |
W=

back in Sitka. Jason and Von have left and we are waiting for our next
guest. Wonder what the next month will bring? =
