Looking through our crystal ice ball to determine our route through the NW Passage.
Alaska
We’re in Polar Bear Country Now
So how does one navigate getting onto a beach to meet a taxi but there are two polar bear cubs and probably a mama polar bear not too far in between you? You send a sacrificial lamb of course.
Al and Graeme Have Been Lying…
How did we all get tricked into believing them for all this time? Was it the polar mirage?
Delivery: Sitka to Nome Part 3 (False Pass and Nunivak Island)
With an ominous name like False Pass, one can only wonder what type of trepidation awaits us.
Delivery: Sitka to Nome Part 2 (Anchorage Hopping and Fresh Fish!)
Exploring the beautiful Alaskan Peninsula anchorages and getting a fresh fish delivery in the Aleutian Islands!
Delivery: Sitka to Nome Part 1 (Sitka to Kodiak)
Our skipper Al and his partner Shauna need to get Dogbark to Nome! 1,400nm is a reasonable amount for a shakedown cruise right?

Captain’s Report – Day 6 – Off Icy Bay
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.
Captain’s Report – Day 4 – In Alaskan Waters!
