It was a calm, sunny, early July morning in Tracy Arm Cove located between Ketchikan and Juneau in southeast Alaska. With wife Caroline at the helm, we had reached the northern apex of our 3 month cruise and had just pulled anchor to start back on our sailboat down the coast of British Columbia to our home in Seattle.
