We left False Pass late so Wade didn’t wake Sara until 5:30 am. Wow! He’s a wonderful husband! Wade tried to sleep as much as he could but after around 4 hours of sleep the wind started to pick up and Sara let out the mainsail and Wade woke up. […]

Our original thought was to leave the False Pass Marina early, but local information told us that it’s better to leave the north False Pass channel on a rising tide. The tide started to rise at 10 am which was also the time the fuel station open. We were up […]
Iridium Go has become more like an Iridium “No Go” lately. We hung around King Cove a little this morning trying to get our Iridium Go data connection fixed, to no avail. We’re still using our Single Side Band (SSB) to get weather grib files and send Noon Reports and […]
We pulled up anchor from Captain’s Harbor and arrived in King Cove. We were greeted with AT&T reception where Sara learned the loss of one of her greatest Navy friend’s passing away too young. Today we honor Timothy Harris as he was a wonderful person and always a good friend […]
Yesterday we deployed our subsistence gill net for the first time. If you remember we got it for free from Mike in Seward when we drove from Key West to Kodiak last year. We have carried the net this far and finally set it to catch salmon. When we were […]
We awoke this morning to what seemed to be a bright and sunny day, but going outside revealed that we were surrounded by fog. It seemed so unusual that it could be so bright out while at the same time being socked in by fog. Sara flew her drone above […]
So this is a first! We normally don’t anchor at midnight, but today was a busy day. Someone who shall not be named decided to sleep in until 10 am. We won’t judge, but our day got a late start. We first dropped the dingy and went to shore to […]
We had a wonderful 4th of July celebration in the village of Sand Point. We went into town and everyone was so welcoming and invited us to their homes for dinner. We declined primarily because we had previously prepared a crab dinner feast on the boat. We have two crab […]
One of the keys to King Neptune’s sailing garden is making sure the roots actually touch the water. On our trip from Kodiak to Shumagin Islands we motored into the wind for several days. At times we would stop the pump so that during rougher moments the water wouldn’t slosh […]
According to regulations we hit our daily fishing limit on Black Rockfish. Sara was on fire, each time her lure sank to the bottom she felt a tug then another tug, and pulled up two big Black Rockfish. The average age for Black Rockfish is 15 to 75 years old […]
We made it! Today around noon we pulled into Fox Hole Inlet and anchored. The anchorage approach is straight forward with a wide channel and easy anchoring. Upon arrival we dropped our bigger crab trap that had really stinky Black Rockfish bones from before we left Kodiak, yummy, at least […]
