Summary Log for This Leg (1)

Tom’s guests for his inaugural 2004 leg included two “regulars”, Nap Hosang and Todd Olsen, and a new crew member, Phil Rasori. Nap and Todd both work at Kaiser Permanente/Hayward, Nap as an Ob/Gyn physician and Todd as a general surgeon. Nap is also a professor at UC Berkeley School of Public Health where he teaches maternal and child health and international health. Phil is a former sailor, avid fly fisherman, crabber, and internist who consults on travel medicine and international health projects in New Guinea and Kenya. All three are avid fishermen and though their luck was not as great as they would have liked given the hours of trolling in the dinghy, they were able to provide two fish dinners with salmon, halibut, rockfish, snapper, sanddabs and crabs. Our trip was blessed with extraordinarily good weather during the first few days, especially welcome since we were in the part of the Behm Canal that contains the Misty Fjords National Monument. Deep fjords, 3000' snowcapped mountains, many cliffs and waterfalls, hiking trails and lakes, and nary another boat. With fine weather, cuisine, lots of good conversations, some fish, and some wanted (and one unwanted) shoreside adventures, what more could we ask for?

Leg 1 stats: 10 days total, 7 travel days (30.6 hours of motoring averaging 5.4 hours per travel day), 186.8 miles covered at an average speed of 6.1 knots; no nights in marinas except Ketchikan on the last day.
