Waterman culling tonged oysters
Sailing southwest down Eastern Bay
Finally, some wind! After 10 days of mostly calm.
Approaching Knapps Narrows Bridge
Skipjack H.M. Krentz geared up for oystering
Wafted down Eastern Bay and out around Sharps Island, where enough breeze filled in to warrant a reef in the mainsail. Motored through Knapps Narrows and then went back to wafting for a while, to Nelsons Island Shoal. Motored the rest of the way to Balls Creek.
