Tolstoi Bay

 Position N 55 d 39.433

The weather Sunday was kind of miserable so since we were tied up we opted for another night.  Gave us a bit of time to unwind.  Coffman has a store and we picked up some veggies and potato chips, Pauline made up some Coho Salmon and we watched a couple of movies.  This morning we opted for Tolstoi Bay we were debating going all the way to Kasaan Bay but the wind was dead on the stern and we were too lazy to sail so we opted for the shorter hop today.  Tolstoi itself would be exposed to this wind but on the west side there is a little hooked bay that offers great protection.  The wind still gets in here but no chance for seas to build up.  There is a cabin on the north east shore and a sailboat is tied to what looks like a private dock there.  The entrance is a little narrow but is exactly as the guidebook and charts describe.  The depths are a bit deeper than we like at over 16 metres but the anchor snugged up right away so seems to be good holding.

We should head to Kasaan tomorrow and will spend a couple of days there looking at Totem Poles and walking some trails.  Then it is back to civilization in Ketchikan pick up some supplies and drop off our crew before heading down to Canada.
