The Inside Passage to Alaska, a protected inland sea running a thousand nautical miles from Washington to Southeast AK. Paddled by native canoes since time immemorial, sailing craft for centuries, and after someone found gold in the Klondike the route was jammed with steamboats full of prospectors elbowing each other out of the way for the promise of fortune. Toady it's a major shipping route for communities along the coast and arguably one of the best cruising destinations in the world - I mean check out these insane mountain views!
In our latest vid we navigate a 'shortcut' known as Wrangell Narrows, a shallow dredged channel littered with vessels that didn't make it through. Thankfully there's lots of eagles to mark the way! Latest vid over on YT, catch you over there!

Sailing under eternal daylight in Alaska🌞
During the summer months the sun barely dips below the horizon. With so many hours of functional sunlight a day, we found ourselves loosing complete track of time💫
Sailing well ‘into the night’ most days, a novel experience in an area of the world where the risk of running into deadheads (massive floating trees) normally deters seafaring after dark!

These pics were taken in the hours leading up to the Summer solstice, the sun had dipped behind the mountains painting the snow capped peaks in a brilliant alpenglow 🌸
the water a stunning turquoise from silt running off of the nearby glaciers, backed by a (nearly) full pink moon! It was one of those magical moments where life feels a little like fantasy✨

Ketchikan for Race to Alaska! New vid, comin‘atcha this weekend!
A super groovy town! Was pretty cool to be at the finish line to cheer on the R2AK race finalists. What an amazing event! And this place has a pretty interesting history. Wandering historic creek street felt nostalgic, it’s colorful houses built on pilings remind me so much of Newfoundland💫
Didn’t buy the gold, rare gems or fur lingerie.. very much enjoyed the rustic dive bars & cold beers, cheers!
