| I soloed the leg from Prince Rupert to Petersburg. Crossing
Dixon Entrance from Prince Rupert to Ketchikan was a 13 hour ordeal,
with the wind generally from the south and moderately large swells
and rain. Great sailing, but I learned not to try wing on wing
with large following seas and no whisker pole after experiencing a couple of nasty jibes.
Meyer's Chuck is a great stopover, a tiny enclave with perfect
protection, and cabins perched on rock outcroppings above the
water. The post office (which was never actually open when I
was there) is reached via an isthmus which covered with water at
high tide.
