Arriving to Bears and Orcas in Prince William Sound - Ep. 119 RAN Sailing

Last time we sailed in ROM we did an overnight sail from Kodiak Island to Seward on the Alaska mainland to see the life, so we just left the Seward Marina, loaded up some fuel with 20 gallons and are now heading to Prince William Sound. We have 50 miles left to go. today he will probably be calm but snobbish. I'm here tomorrow there's a big yellow living with strong easterly winds, that's why we see angry people and I'm down. There are two Anchorages, you haven't really decided which one the disability is. today is also maybe half a mile of mine some drizzle not very fun really a very good winner I hope it burns out during the day it's sunny again it's been a really nice day my surroundings but now we're looking forward to Resurrection Bay being 15 nautical miles deep , so it took us a couple of hours to reach the open ocean.

We left his departure after Seward and now we are back in the open ocean and it is absolutely fantastic here, these mountains and the caves, some tunnels leading through the mountains are these outcrops in Manchester, there are many fishing boats here it seems to be a Popular spot for sport fishing boats. It cleared up a bit and the wind has dropped to almost Serena. How about a really cool place? It's incredible all the noise they make. It's just the constant everywhere you see all the bird poop guano on the rocks, so now we're changing course and we can keep that classified course as close as possible. 420 miles will take us four hours.

Oh, you heard that's cool, yeah? The waves are crashing against the rocks, so we're going to get close, we're going to get pretty close to the shore, so you hope to have some nice views. It's full of glaciers here, a glacier there, another there, there, so I think we have another 20 miles and Let's anchor here, which is right at the beginning of Prince William Sound. It's a huge

sound

, as you can see, it may not look that big here on the track, but from here to the art, the other side is 70 65 miles, so for us, that would take like 13 hours, so which is big, it's full of islands full of coves, bays and of course glaciers so it's quite a remote area so there aren't many cruise ships here, there are a couple of local boats and there are a few towns around.

sound

and they have ports so yes some locals and most of them have motor boats.

We don't have a cruising guide for this area, but it's pretty easy, I mean, it's so easy you can see yourself, it's okay. There is a good shelter and this is not a good shelter and then I read some blogs and found information online and also heard recommendations from people who live here or have been here before, so I pointed out a couple of markers, like the Anchorage workers , where We're thinking too angry and yeah, we're going to go see a couple of glaciers, so I'm really looking for it, I see the face, the eyes to the side, there I saw his profile and then the lips like that, you answer. hot chocolates small penises, with me, it's um, yeah, clogged marshmallows, really a sugar bomb to starboard.

Wow, that's pretty big, so yes, this area is known to have a lot of trees and logs in the water. Yes, well, you are aware of what is in front of him. boat you don't want to hit one of those that with years gone by if you hadn't changed course I think we would have been fine but maybe we would have been hit one side and of course during the night hoping for the best but the nights are quite short up there , yes, that is very dark, maybe four hours of darkness, we are about to enter Prince William Sound and we have about ten miles to go to Bank Rich, we are going to Hog Bay today, have we decided to go?

We saw an organ go by. I couldn't get it to go down in the video, but I saw them before. There were about ten, but quite far away, this one came quite close just because of the bullet. They are quite shy pods of dolphins. What are you saying? Money: quite shy. Yes, they were a little shy but beautiful. The first time they saw orchids, obviously, there were more. I think we first thought they were baby killer whales, but there they are called doll porpoises. It's the Bainbridge Glacier. I think I'll check it closely tomorrow. How cool, you can see the royal blue ice.

She is the oldest. I want to go to the shower first. I like that. A big fish. It's been a couple of days since we last showered. when we've been driving we have hot water so it's time to shower, hot shower yeah yeah so now it's 6:00 p.m. and I think we were there, we're inside the bay and now we're headed to Anchorage. I think we got there in 20 minutes and I think our nomad friends are there too. You see, earlier I got an email from them on the satellite phone saying We were going here today, so it was a good day, yeah, it's been a fantastic day.

I have seen so many

orcas

or kissing small or large

orcas

or making moans in the distance, yes, yes, so many birds, such a long day at sea, everything is big here. It doesn't look very big on the lists, but all this today is very far from everything, this is our big soul, a peaceful place, really nice, it seems to be well supported, I think it is, dear, not as deep as four meters, so that's good, lots of eagles. They are on it, I think five or six of them nest there along with many other birds.

I guess I don't know if they are waiting for Salman. Oh, some of them are very big eating fish, against no one. We waited for the

bears

and just when we wanted a black bear to come out, it was looking for food on the beach. The salmon, which is the

bears

' main food source, arrived very late this summer, so at low tide the bears come down to the beach to watch. looking for something edible now we are about to leave Hagh Bay and we spent the day working and fixing things on the boat and it's around 2pm. now we will go out and cross the bay to look at the glacier and then we will wait for the tides to pass through the Bainbridge Passage and therefore you will want to go where when it is loose or tied with you through the passage it is not That length are about 6 miles or so and then our plan is to go to a bay called Outer utter Bay, another bay and this is a beautiful place we haven't been to on land but we saw Barry this morning so we let the Bears have your space. and yes, I will help you raise the anchor.

Wow, big thing, it's like big, there's a lot of algae here, all ready to go. I love the color of Queens, it's easier, oh, there it is again, so the water has changed color, white. drastically, there is a line that you can see up here, it looked like it went up to the bottom, so it should be very shallow here, but it's over 100 meters, so I guess it's the runoff from the glacier here that's coloring it water isolation. that blue ice thank you very much for watching, share, like and subscribe.
