Port Alexander

Port Alexander proved to be an excellent anchorage albeit a bit deep at 60 ft. It was totally deserted and we enjoyed an afternoon of beach combing on a beautiful slate stone beach with the black stone chips worn smooth by the sea. Awesome skipping stones - to Skid’s consternation... The ‘aboriginals’ were adept at making the blades for wood carving tools from these stones.
As we’ve moved north and further from the peopled places we have seen a lot more wildlife too. The eagles now are more common than gulls and we usually see 2-3 at a time in the air around our anchorages.
