June 9-10 – Alexander Inlet

Our First Grizzly Sighting

View outside Alexander Inlet

Sunrise in Alexander Inlet


We motored around 2 hours to get into the head of Alexander Inlet where there is a lagoon and lots of interesting landscape. The book tells you that if you want to get away from it all, not many boaters go in there. We felt kind of bad for the American yacht that was already in the bay (for about 5 minutes) as we were sure he thought he would have the place to himself. On the way in I spot a grizzly feeding on the shore. What a treat! After dinner, we go high speed gunkholing (refer to earlier post for definition) – we are on the lookout for Betty’s Kermode bear….we spot a grizzly instead and Mike threatens to spray paint it white….go ahead I say, if you can do that, I will quit whining to see one! It’s a beautiful night and a beautiful bay.

Shaman II

Shaman II
We could go 100 times and still not see it all!

Profiles of who we are

"Shaman II" is a 48' 1973 fiberglass "Gulf Commander". Twin Caterpillar 3116. 500 gal Fuel (Gulp!) and 500 gal fresh water. We have owned her for 27 years and we are the second owner. We are a self sufficient cruising machine with all the trappings of home. Mike and I are retired now and every chance we get, we "Live the Dream". We have one fabulous son who is the proud owner of his own boat, "Eye Candy"....aptly named after his sweetie, Shannon! Three of the sweetest Grandchildren you could have....Mr. Keaton and Coco (Cohen aka the Pope), and baby Harrison (Bob).

Mike and I have spent our summers for the last 45 years scouring the coast to see all that we can see in every nook and cranny our boat will fit into. The earlier years were spent as any normal boating family would, bringing our son and friends to Desolation Sound for 2 weeks of swimming! These days, we spend most of our time mid coast. Three trips to Alaska under our belt and 25 plus years hanging out in the Central to North Coast.
