Alaska 2021 – May 9 Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s
day to all the Moms reading this blog! Today
we cruised up Graham Reach past Khutze Inlet. We went thru Fraser Reach, McKay
Reach, Wright Sound then Grenville Channel to reach our destination for tonight
of Lowe Inlet which was about 60 miles north of lasts nights stop in Horsefly
Cove. We have stayed at Lowe Inlet on prior trips and the Nettle Basin and
Verney Falls are the highlight. The Kumowdah River flows into Nettle Basin over
Verney Falls and drains Lowe Lake. At a low tide Verney Falls will double in
height which leads to some great pictures. It started as another overcast day but much brighter and no
rain-we actually saw glimpses of the sun on the journey but we are back in the
heavy overcast now!
On the journey we
went past Butedale which is the site of a former cannery. The buildings are in ruins,
but the waterfall is still spectacular.
This is a beautiful cruise with high hills
surrounding us and many waterfalls to enjoy. There is still quite a bit of snow
in some of the hills.
