Mailed a bunch of postcards and got ready to leave. There were two big fat fishing boats in back of us and another on the other side of the fairway, so there was no way to get out. Fortunately, two guys from the Harbor Master's office came by and moved one of the fishing boats. We swung the Jofian around with lines and departed.
Beautiful clear, sunny day! Stopped at a nice new fuel dock. Filled the tank and all the jerry cans. Also got two gallons of oil.
Headed up the Behm Canal towards Misty Fjords National Monument. Don't be fooled by the word "canal"; this is a completely natural waterway.
We turned into Yes Bay, which is really more of an inlet than a bay. There's a big fishing lodge here, with its own docks and boats. This must be a fisherman's paradise; everywhere we looked, fish were leaping out of the water. I guess they're salmon. They're obviously some kind of salt-water fish.
We went past the lodge and dropped anchor in a secluded area. Put out two anchors and 140 feet of chain. The tidal range here is about twenty feet.
After supper, we started to go paddling, but it was getting dark, so we decided to return to the boat and paddle in the morning.
