Captain Scott's Log ~ Tuesday, September 16th 2008

Subject: Back in Glacier Bay

Monday was a foggy experience so we cut the day short and went into Coot
Bay. 58 15.4n 134 53.3w Its not in our cruising guide but Ken said its our
best anchorage ever. It rained all night but that’s standard and today we set
out early for Glacier Bay. We got some wind and sailed by "Rocky Island"
which had the sea lion colony and had an uneventful sail/motor sail to the
Park. Now stopped in Fingers Bay 58 35n 136 13w one boat length from a
waterfall. Ken says it’s our best anchorage ever. Ken is having a good time.
When last here 5 days ago there was no fall color. Now all the trees are
bright yellow and some look past their prime. It’s raining. Foggy mist flows
through the hillside trees. Our nearby waterfall dominates the water sounds
but 4 other streams are in sight flowing into Fingers Bay. Maybe Ken is
right.
