Dogfish Island, Ketchikan Gateway Borough, AK, USA

Aug 15, 2025 - Aug 15, 2025

Motored from Ketchikan to Alaska’s ‘real’ first city, Loring. Really cool spot, and pretty much the first drone-worthy place since leaving Baranof Island. It was torrential raining the entire time, so couldn’t send the drone up! Anchorage was very deep, approx. 90’. Could have spiderwebbed into Naha Bay, but there wasn’t a lick of wind forecasted, so we dropped anchor and ~200’ of chain rode and sat on top of it all night. Saw a cute black bear almost immediately after entering the anchorage. They are much smaller than the brown’s we’ve seen up north! Took @Port to shore for a potty break, @David explored the area on the dingy, and I sat by the diesel heater for the remainder of the evening lol.
