Monday - Tuesday, July 18-19, 2005: Klakish Inlet to Bunsby Islands

We left early around 8 a.m. so that we could get around Brooks Inlet before the wind came up. We had huge seas probably 8-10 feet with a few in the 12 foot range. We were all getting battered around, especially us without stabilizers. Today I was tired and didn’t want these seas. Everyone was very concerned about us. A few times we disappeared into troughs (see photo). The seas flattened out as we entered the passage. I was exhausted by being blown around. But the anchorage was beautiful and I enjoyed the kayaking while Bob enjoyed the fishing. The wind blew somewhat but it was nice to be in an anchorage somewhat protected and not out rolling around. We stayed two nights and enjoyed the area.
