We left Shipley Bay at 0830 and we are in Wooden Wheel Cove in Port Protection, Prince of Wales Island. It was not on our plans this morning to stop into Port Protection but life has a way of turning things around.
We lost our charging regulator (in fact it blew up) and also the ability to stop and start the engine (switch panel instruments dead).
Long story short, we are fine and Mark is trying to figure out what is going on and how to jury rig a way for us to get to Ketchikan for parts and repairs.
There are friendly humans here and even a store. Port Protection, named by George Vancouver, is a small settlement and offers good shelter from all weather as its name implies. There is even a reality television show of this place.
