Another no tender day - maybe we'll actually have a WP for this sail-in. we usually don't. But I can always hope.

I have to get lucky one of these days & make it for sail in, I'll try again today.

Thank you for the reminder.

Oosterdam, having picked up her two pilots at Kake, has left  Frederick Sound behind her, and has begun her northbound trek up Stephens Passage, already past The Brothers islands

"Passing Juneau Island" per OSDM's pilot; that's a new designator and you can see it on the AIS map

That sounded like the piston (non-turbo) engine of a DHC-2 Beaver, Roy

I had the noisemakers turned off but perhaps it will come into sight.

Sounded more like a fly-over. Next time you are on Gastineau Channel, look on the east shore shore and you'll see some Beavers (float) parked at their docks, Same with Ketchikan heading north on Tongass Narrows near the airport

[rafinmd]

Raindrops getting worse.  Looks like one of my favorite ships will be tendering tomorrow.
