Magic and crew slept in this morning. As we were just stirring Tom came over and told us it was time to get up and get going so we could hit the tide. Okay, okay. Everyone got up and moving untied lines and headed out. Head up Peril Strait with a destination of Kootznahoo Inlet.
With new crew on board we were again pointing out all the things on the beach. Cabins, logging camp barges, etc…. Saw a few Dalls porpoise playing in the waves. A couple blow spouts from Humpback whales in the distance and then the captain called out …. Bears on the Beach – Bears on the Beach !!!
On the beach near what looks like an old abandoned logging camp, as a momma brown bear and her two cubs.
Later there were a couple Orca off the Miner’s boat about ½ mile behind us. Now wait a minute, what’s the deal. We were in Alaska for weeks before we saw any bear. Deb and Noble get here and the very next day have 3 bear and whale sightings; Go figure. Oh, they are getting to experience the summer rain too.
We stopped to fish for awhile outside the town of Angoon before going in for the night.
Tom caught a Halibut today. Glen caught a baby Lingcod, which actually tried to swallow the weight leaving the hook alone. Of course Glen sent him back to grow up. Deb caught the bottom a couple times and Noble lost his special Halibut rig to the ‘one that got away’. So the end result is 0 for Magic and 1 for Debt.
Just in case Tom does not post his latest fish picture, we thought you'd like to see this.
Oh almost forgot when we got to Angoon we tied both boats to the dock. There was a metal pole sticking up out of the water and tied to the dock alongside Magic that looked sort of like a water pipe. About 10 minutes later, a local in a skiff came by and told Glen …. ‘Hey, there is a boat sunk underneath you’. About the same time a couple other locals on the dock walked over and said the same thing. One guy stating that the boat was just like the big black one (large steel hull siener) down the dock. Duh, we moved Magic over to another slip.
We somehow doubt that the sunken boat is the size of the black one, because there was 27 feet of water under us at the dock (in both mooring spots), and there were no blips on Magic’s depth sounder as we came in or left the dock.
