Elfin Cove – June 4


Inner Harbor - Elfin Cove


Catching Fish
A quiet, restful day spent on the boat at the dock.  Another spectacle of fishing boats and floatplanes coming and going.  We walk up to the liquor store to replenish our beer supply and meet Jay, the owner of Gold Dust the fishing boat that is ahead of us on the dock.  He is a native Huna Tlingit and is headed to Gustavus in the morning and tells us that the best time to depart Elfin Cove to reach South Inian Pass is 8:30.  We decide we will follow his lead.  He reminds us that his ancestors lived in Glacier Bay which is now a National Park.  Our permit to enter Glacier Bay NP starts on Saturday.  We will ask if we can enter Friday afternoon and spend the night in Bartlett Cove.  If that is not possible we will continue on to Gustavus if the winds are calm or back to Hoonah if weather is an issue.


Waiting out the rain
