The wind and rain stopped last night for a bit of a reprieve. The plan was to get up early and get going early before the wind and rain started again. So we cast off at 05:30 this morning and tried for a bay a little less than halfway to Prince Rupert called Foggy Bay. Foggy Bay itself doesn't offer much protection from the weather but it has an inner bay which after sneaking through a very narrow entrance, which becomes available. In here we are protected from almost everything.
The weather did turn against us about two hours after departing and reduced our speed to under four knots, but eventually we made our way in. The weather is forecast to continue to be contrary and worsen tonight and tomorrow so the earliest we can leave is probably Wednesday. Thanks to our Starlink we can keep an eye on the weather and hopefully make a very early start in order to make it all the way to Prince Rupert in order to check into Canada. This bay is rather pretty and supposedly full of wildlife. A nice way for us to say our farewells to Alaska.
