20/6
Steve and i up at 04:00, anchor up , we are on our way to the Ragged Isles.
Fog comes down........................ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, it's Labrador & Baffin Island all over again............however, we motor for about 2 hours and we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The fog is clearing as we get further away from the coast, excellent.
There is no wind all day, so motoring it is.
The plan is to anchor in Berger Bay on Nuka Island for the night.
A lovely protected cove with splendid views.
21/6
Up and away fairly early, the plan is to get to Northwestern Fjord this afternoon.
A reasonably uneventful trip until, a young Humpback whale decides to come and say hello...................he passes under the boat and alongside us, blowing air out as he goes...............the mass of air bubbles is astonishing............and no sooner as he came, he was gone.........amazing to see. We could see all the way down his back as he went down our starboard side...........a lifetime tick ....AGAIN.........just stunning. Also dolphins today, bald eagles, Otters in abundance....................phew.............how lucky am i !!!!
We carefully work our way through the narrow inlet into the fjord at the once Terminal morraine (only 5.0m deep in parts)..........now miles away from the carving face
We get into the Fjord late afternoon......some ice about, but nothing to talk about..........not like last year !!!
The Kabola furnace decided to pack in again tonight..............darn it.....what now !!!!
I manage to get it going, but only by taking the photo cell out and flashing a torch at it to start it..........more work is needed!!!!
We anchor for the night and at least have a warm boat........great stuff.
A side glacier coming into the Northwestern fjord
No idea why this is doing this !!!!!
