Tuesday, September 1, 1992 - Punchbowl Cove, AK

It's the first of September and we're headed south, right on schedule. Nice and calm today. Even had a little sunshine between the showers.
Motored down the eastern portion of the Behm Canal, enjoying the lovely scenery. Mountains on both sides, some of them snow-capped. Turned into Rudyerd Bay, the misty fjord. Before us loomed a vertical rock wall, 3150 feet high! Awesome!
There are several arms in Rudyerd Bay, and we explored all but one of them. Magnificent scenery everywhere we looked! Towering mountains, plunging waterfalls. And all unspoiled -- no roads, no buildings, no litter. We saw one boat and a seaplane; otherwise, we had the entire place to ourselves.
A lot of dead salmon were floating in the water. Roy had me (ugh!) scoop one up in the fish net. He used it to (ugh!) bait the crab trap. It will be interesting to see what it catches.
Used the "Happy Hooker" Al Snider gave us to attach a line to the mooring buoy in Punchbowl Cove. It worked flawlessly on the first try.
