It is a lovely place, but foggy, and rainy when we were there. Going south on Wrangell Strait was foggy, but what we could see was beautiful. We stayed in a small, unnamed bay on the west side of Sokolof Island. Very nice, & quiet. A fishing boat anchored for 6-hours, tide 17-feet, no fish, or crabs. Fished in morning, then up anchor at 07:15, and then go to Wrangell for an hour or 2, then move on. Arrive Wrangell 08:30 lv at 10:30, headed south on Eastern Passage -- Ben Gray Idlewild Custom Buehler 55 powered by a 55-hp Kubota Home port: Dunvegan, Alberta http://www.idlewildexpedition.ca http://dieselducks.com/Idelwild.html http://www.trawlersandtrawlering.com To follow Idlewild with Google Earth: http://tinyurl.com/ksnhg For the Trawler M/V JPEG version: http://tinyurl.com/ovdt7
