June 21 - Foch Lagoon


Plenty of Ice Shelves left in Foch




Sheer walls protect this hidden basin


Snow melt is fast as evidenced by this waterfall

We weren't sure where the name came from, but a switch of vowels would give you an idea of the difficulty in getting in there. There was a about a 4 foot overfall when we first arrived at the entrance of this picturesque inlet. So, rather than ruin a perfectly fine day by running the rapids, we opted to drop the fishing lines outside the entrance until the current settled down. After a few hours, it had settled down enough for us to go through. It was still a fast ride through, 6-7 knots. We spent a quiet night in the rain at the head of Foch Lagoon.
