9 hours 63.1 miles - United States again
This is a long day of travel in uncomfortable seas. First we leave Prince Rupert via Venn Passage. It is a very circuitous route, but well marked with buoys to keep us off the rocks. Chatham Sound
was rough with 4 foot seas. As we entered Dixon entrance we not only had seas up to 6 feet but fog as well. We are open to the ocean here and there are ocean swells are very uncomfortable. Really miserable. We are quite safe but Fred had to hand steer frequently. By the time we reached Ray Anchorage we were both exhausted. We picked this place because we are in good position to enter Ketchikan tomorrow. Ray Anchorage is open to Revillagigedo Channel but tucked into the island. It seemed just fine but we put our flopper-stoppers down just in case.
