We awoke in Walker Cove to broken clouds. It provided some wonderful light for a photograph of a boat with whom we shared the cove. This same boat was in Punchbowl Cove with us as well. Since anchoring is difficult in Walker Cove, we offered to have them raft with us on the mooring buoy but they declined and managed to find a good hook with their anchor.
From here, we motored around the north end of Revillagigedo Island through Behm Narrows. Our destination was Yes Bay on the northwest side of Behm Canal and only about 40 miles from Ketchikan.
We negotiated our way through a couple of narrow channels, past the Yes Bay Resort and into the back end of the the inner bay. Since we started around 7 AM, we were anchored with the engine off shortly after 2 PM.
The early arrival gave us ample time to launch the dinghy for the first time on the trip. Since we left Seattle the middle of May, whenever we’ve felt the need to leave the boat while at anchor, we’ve used the kayaks. The launch was uneventful and the Honda outboard started up after a couple of tugs despite it having not been run for three months since our shakedown trip the end of March.
Today’s mileage – 49.5
