We set the alarm this morning for an early start but the wind was blowing and it was raining, so we got back under the covers for another couple of hours sleep.  We finally got moving about 1030 and were planning to go all the way to Geographic Harbor but decided to put into Fox Bay for the night instead.  Reason being that we didn't want to do 2 overnight as the weather was still bad.  

As we were coming into the bay, a fishing vessel captain hailed us on the radio to tell us about some set nets in the bay.  Then he offered to give us some sockeye salmon caught within the hour.  Unfortunately we could only accept one fish as we don't have a freezer.  It was yummy!!

We hope that tomorrow will be more settled weather and we can make an overnight to Port Wrangell.  The weather is still south but the decreased winds should drop the waves.  But it is the rain that we hope will stop.  The bays between here and Port Wrangell are numerous but either exposed to the south, very steep to, or too far off the track to dip into so we are pretty resolved to make the run to Port Wrangell.  From there it will be only a day sail to Geographic Harbor.
