Little Shaheen to Bell Island Hot Springs (Pt 1)
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 1:28 pmAnother hop today, this time from a little camping cabin on Admiralty Island, down south to an altogether, more comfortable place to stay.
Just a quick overview of the chart for the first half of the trip, I'm getting low on fuel now, so will have to stop in at Wrangell for some juice:
Getting ready to leave 'Little Shaheen', this is a real cabin on Admiralty Island. As you can see, the lake is frozen - & will stay that way until about mid May:
Leaving the cabin behind me I begin make to my way south:
With Admiralty Island behind, I cross over the Seymour Canal - in the distance you can just make out East & West Brother Islands that I passed on my way north:
This is Fanshaw Bay & Whitney Island, once past this easy to recognise bay I have to follow the river down to the left, past the NDB at Petersburg Johnson & carry on south to Wrangell:
Just as I'm about to call 'final' for Wrangell, the weather has decided to close in. Nevermind, it's not that bad & I still have a visual on the VASI lights:
More in part 2.
Cheers,
TSC.
