Alaska 2021 - May 8

 

April 2021 – May 8

    We left Oliver Cove at 8:30 with an anticipated anchorage in Horsefly Cove in Green Inlet which is South of Butedale.  It is a cold, rainy gray day again which is unfortunate since this is normally a beautiful ride up Mathieson Channel.  We went thru Jackson pass and Jackson Narrows to Finlayson Channel. If you follow the Douglass book you would probably not anchor here as they say they spent the night poorly secured to a spit that extends from the stream on the south shore across from Horsefly cove. Not an assuring post but we anchor the three boats together on one center anchor and stern tie to shore so we will see how it works out! There are tidal rapids at Baffle Point and the description in Douglass is enjoy the view of the ebb current at the rapids – its like watching a jet fighter with is after burner ignited.  The rooster tails of the waterfall pulsate for perhaps 100 yards on a good low tide! My guess is this is why we are staying at Green Inlet!  Picture of Dave and Jane on Bidarka going thru Jackson Narrows and Jackson Channel. Pete is enjoying the ride with my Nana blanket from Evie and Lexi! We are seeing lots of waterfalls along the route!
