The
weather has started to improve and the forecast is for some favorable winds to
take us north to Cleveland passage anchorage. We set off while Katya was still
asleep – practicing being a teenager – and headed into Frederick Sound. The
sails were raised and we close hauled up the sound in sunny weather. Still no
more whales. Prime Time, a motor boat in the slip near us in Petersburg, was on
the VHF to us
“Australian sailboat, this
is Primetime”
“Primetime
this is Sarita – channel 68”
“Can you see us? Just thought
we would let you know that there are two large bears on the beach over here”
“Thanks. We will head over
there and take a look”
That
was kind of them. We headed over and watched the two bears foraging on the
beach for a while and continued on our way.
We
were the only boat in anchored in Cleveland passage. It’s not the most pleasant
anchorage, it’s a bit exposed to Northerly winds and a bit of swell but there
was plenty of swing room so let out most of our chain in case the winds picked
up overnight.
The
sun was still shining late in the evening and I was on deck with a beer and a
fishing rod after a long hard day. (don’t feel sorry for me) Wait, that was a big nibble on the rod. Wham,
a big bite and I have something worthwhile. Turns out to be a 10lb flounder! Fantastic.
Jude cooked it up and we had fish and chips for supper.
