Friday Funny 9-7/18 (Punchbowl)

Not this punchbowl.

We've been in the Misty Fjord Natl Monument for the past couple of weeks. It's a beautiful area, and we found more anchorages we'd like to visit when we have more time. We'll be back again.

One of the stops we enjoyed, Punchbowl Cove, inside of Rudyerd Bay.

South Misty Fjords

We had a couple of sunny days to really enjoy the scenery.

You can see why this cove is named Punchbowl, you're surrounded by high cliffs. We tied up to a US Forest Service buoy, and relaxed, well, except for the extra company.

It's one of the main attractions for cruise ship passengers who are visiting Ketchikan, and they sightsee the area by floatplane, and boat.

Oooh, and ahhhh, coming in low, and close.

The floatplanes start coming in around 8:00a, occur every half hour or so, and quit around 5:00p

Roostertail

There were 3 different high speed tourist boats, and they each came in twice a day. You can imagine the amount of wake these guys would produce going by.

We decided to move on, after all, the rain was coming, it's misty....  get it, Misty Fjords? Anyway, we were running out of coffee creamer, (again), and the next stop with a grocery store is Ketchikan. We'll say "HI" to the cruise ships on our way to the marina.

Goodbye, to the easy to use, mooring buoy.

 As always, we enjoy hearing from you, either here in comments or on our Facebook Denali Rose Sailboat page.
