Beautiful Day!

Had to get away from the snow!
So we decided to take the Belley Ache out such it was a nice day as compared to what we have been having. We headed up to Nakwasina Sound to see what was happening there. It was very calm and just beautiful as we entered the Sound. Tied up to the buoy at the Allen Point cabin and enjoyed our picnic lunch. From there we went around Halleck Island where we came across a deer that had gotten stranded on a small island with the tide. OOPS lol   Came out back into Olga Straight and crossed over into Krustof Sound. Came across a Harris Air 185 float plane that had landed ahead of us so we went to make sure they were OK. While we were heading that way we figured out they were watching Humpback whales! Saw a few Sea Otters but they wanted nothing to do with us. Stopped in for gas @ $2.62 per gallon. At that rate the fish better be scared!!
