Default Northwest Cruising

What timing; I just got back from the Florida Keys with my boat
yesterday. I liked Alaska better...

As Steve said, I went from Port Hardy to Sitka last summer in a 26'
powerboat without problems. I looked at your list and can tell you
there's a nice new floating dock at Bishop Bay Hot Springs. I was at
some of the other places you mentioned, but will have to haul out the
charts. One problem we had was not having enough time to do this
properly. We alloted seven weeks, but it was too far. We may go back in
2005, but this time I will trailer to Prince Rupert and plan to just
circumnavigate Admiralty Island instead of going from Port Hardy.

Fuel waas not a problem if you can go 80 nautical miles. Other
provisions (except alcoholic beverages) were available everywhere but
Hartley Bay. Fish were often available for trade for beer.

Feel free to email me with questions.
