Since we aren’t having much luck catching salmon, we’ve decided to move on this morning. It’s still raining, but there isn’t any fog or wind, so we set out for Kakushdish, a full day’s run from here.

We had smooth seas all the way, which made for a pleasant trip. A whale in Finlayson Channel caused us a bit of excitement, when he surfaced about 20 feet off our bow, just long enough for us to get a glimpse of him, and then disappeared. We held our breath, waiting for what seemed like an eternity, not knowing where he was, and hoping he wouldn’t be right under us when he surfaced again, or flipped that powerful tail. After about 5 minutes, there wasn’t any sign of him, so we continued on to Kakushdish.
