August 25 – Dry Pass Lagoon

The weather was excellent for rounding Cape Decision. While we lowered our stabilizer poles just in case we needed to drop the “stabi’s” in the water, we never needed to. The photo at right is the Cape Decision light house.

After rounding the cape, we headed back up Sumner Strait, entered up towards Shakan Bay then worked our way to Dry Pass.

Dry Pass is a natural channel between Prince of Wales Island and Kosciusko Island that is dredged periodically to keep it navigable. There are navigation markers along the way and you don’t want to get confused as to which side to be on. Between navigation markers and GPS connected electronic charts though, it isn’t difficult but simply requires paying attention.

On anchorage for the night was at a lagoon in the channel between two narrower sections. Fortunately, there wasn’t a lot of other boat traffic so it wasn’t quite like camping in the median of the interstate.
