North Pacific Ocean, Coffman Cove, Prince Of Wales-Hyder Census Area, AK, USA

Jul 28, 2025 - Jul 29, 2025

System ocean-side of Prince of Wales made Clarence Strait pretty uncomfortable, especially with current against wind, so we hung out in Coffman Cove for two nights until conditions lightened up. Came in at high tide which was a bad idea because the charts were not super accurate in the cove. Bottom is uneven so finding a good place to set the anchor was challenging. A rock appeared much closer to our stern than anticipated on charts and nav as the tide dropped, so had to re-anchor in a more exposed and deeper section of the cove. What was charted as 20’ was actually 60’. On the plus side, there were lots of places to explore with the dingy and places for @Port to run around :)
