Always time for another fun selfie
Beautiful anchorage at Berg Bay. But its time to leave and we have to go
through the eerie fog bank on the left. I think I saw a scene like this
in a horror movie once!
made it to another beautiful anchorage. I laugh at our SE Alaska cruising guide I reference.
It is always stating a certain anchorage is secluded and beautiful
That is somewhat redundant as they all are!! almost
Noticed the water temp was up to a balmy 65 so decided it was a good time to go snorkeling
I have been wanting to check out my centerboard as we thought we might have hit something
mid Pacific and I have not been able to raise it.
The water visibility was quite poor but to my surprise I did not have a centerboard!!
Fortunately the centerboard is just a performance issue and its loss does
not endanger the vessel. Another repair to add to the long list!
i would have thought a loss of the centreboard would have made a noticeable difference in the sailing capabilities of the yacht (eg pointing).

We were sailing downwind the rest of the way to Kodiak so wasn't a problem then. Most of Alaska was motoring. There was a couple of times I was sailing to the wind and was confused I wasn't doing better. Now I know why
