Petersburg to Wrangell - 7 hours, 43 miles

We tried to time leaving Petersburg with the tides because as we leave to harbour, we are immediately in Wrangell Narrows. As with all the other “narrows” we have encountered, current is a big issue. For about an hour we have a wonderful 3-5 knot push. However, once we reached the mid-point of the narrows, the current changed and we had to push against 1-2 knots for most of the way south. We are again struck by how few vessels we are seeing. Once we reached Sumner Straight the water was smooth as glass and there was enough fog to create a “white-out”. This part of the trip was actually quite boring. We again were in Reliance Harbor in Wrangell. There are only three other boats on the dock.
