Salmon Falls Alaska

Interesteing day of riding today. Left Petersburg I fog and calm waters. The the fog got denser and the water rougher. Shortly after leaving Petersburg we had to navigate a narrow channel in 50ft visibility. The channel is marked with navigational buoys that transmit a beacon and Steve has nav on his jetski so he led us single file through the 20 mile channel. To make things even more interesting was we weren't the only boats in the channel.

Fog finally lifted around noon but seas were choppy limiting our progress. At one point I took a lot of water over the bow that took my hat and glasses right off my head. The lanyard saved my glasses but the hat was gone. 30 minutes later while refueling I told Steve I lost my hat. He reached down behind my foot and asked "This one?"

We cross into Canada tomorrow.Read more
