In order to beat the typical afternoon winds, we left Ketchikan bright and early at 4:15 AM. While it can be a challenge to get yourself moving that early, the payback is usually calm seas and lovely early light.
Our goal for today was Santa Anna Inlet, about 53 miles from Ketchikan. This will put us in good position to visit the Anan Wildlife Observatory early tomorrow.
The weather the last several days has been excellent and it continued today. We anchored shortly after 12 PM in bright sunshine. We had to open all of the windows in the boat to keep it from becoming too hot. Who would have thought.
The Inlet is oriented NNW which gave us late evening light and a terrific sunset. The calm wind allowed for near mirror-like reflections. The photos, of course do not do it justice. Marcia and I enjoyed a last glass of wine on the fly bridge as the sun set.
Today’s mileage – 53.6
Cumulative mileage – 1284.8
