Currently about 65 miles S of Icy Bay. Some of my favorite coastline is out of sight on the horizon to the north, with Mt. St Elias, the Malaspina glacier and Mount Logan.

Halfway Day!
The following is an update from the boat people, coordinated by the land person known as Talia. Today the crew opened up the halfway box, a traditon running strong on Dogbark for all passages. Mom and I picked everything out and today since the boat is half way to AK, they finally get to see what is inside! Enjoy the update from Graeme!
Captain’s Report – Day 4 – In Alaskan Waters!
We struggled along sailing most of the night under sail, motoring a little as the wind went behind us. We are now clear of Haida Gwaii and “in Alaska waters.”
Captain’s Report – Day 3 – South End Haida Gwaii
Had a pleasant, fast sail across Queen Charlotte Sound entrance to Haida Gwaii. We focused on birds, with sightings of brown albatross, petrels, something like sheerwaters, and puffins. Lots of puffins.
Captain’s Report – Day 2 – West Side Vancouver Island
Sailed most of the night under main alone, but have a bit of jib pulled out now on starboard gibe.
Dogbark to Alaska Again – Day 1
Get yer trackers loaded, folks! Dogbark is sailing north to Alaska again. It’s fun to watch their progress as they go.
