Petersburg
Here we are in picturesque Petersburg. It is a fairly quiet fishing village on the banks of Wrangell Narrows. Most of the traffic up to Southeast Alaska squeezes through this narrow passageway.
Out trip here was remarkably uneventful. While we were in Auke Bay in Juneau I discovered my passport was missing. I was pretty sure I left it in my truck in Skagway. Thankfully my friend Ken was home and he skipped down to the truck retrieved it and couriered it by air to Juneau within hours. I must say the gods were looking after me.
It is about a sixty stretch down Stephen's Passage. Most of it was flat calm. We were able to sail for about an hour but that was it. As we approached the Five Finger Light House and the Junction with Frederick Sound we started to see whales galore, humpback whales. We also saw thousands of marbled Murrelets. One whale broached continuously for about an hour but I was unable to capture a decent picture.
Tomorrow we resume our trip south through Wrangell Narrows then East towards Wrangell and a passageway south that I have not been on.
