June 29 - Chuck Meyers to Blashke Islets

Humpback brunching

Exploring an Old trappers Cabin

Gunkholing through the Blashke's

Totem Similarities?

Today is the first time in a few weeks where we have felt the sun. Blue sky, no wind and our plans take us up Douglas Channel up to Blashke Islets. We spot a pod of Orkas enroute and stop to watch a couple of humpbacks playing. A very tricky entrance (of course) into a very neat set of islets in the middle of Douglas Channel is our night stop. We go highspeed gunkholing at very slow speeds as there are more rocks than a pebble beach strewn throughout these islets. Very picturesque, but devoid of wild life.

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.
