Pacific

I grew up sailing with my family in New England,mostly on Long Island Sound. We owned 3 different sail boats from 22’ to 39’. I learned the basics of sailing and became very “comfortable” on boats. At 20 I moved to Colorado and no more sailing. In 2018 I started sailing again. In 2020 I started racing. In 2022 we bought our cruising boat.

Russell Island - Queen Inlet-Blue Mouse Cove

Completely calm and clear sunny day. We a very close Humpback in Queen Inlet and then 2 moose crossing the west arm of Glacier Bay between Blue Mouse Cove and the Tidal Inlet, which is over 2 miles wide, they are surprisingly fast swimmers. Beautiful evening at the anchorage. We are anchored alone in the SW , however there are 4 boats in the SE anchoring area.

Reid Inlet-Margerie Glacier-Russel Island

Great excursion to the Margerie Glacier, perfect conditions to hang out and take pictures. We drifted in front of the glacier for about an hour and a half just watching and enjoying. Great night on anchor at Russell Island, perfectly common all night.
