Yes definitely an incredible trip. Such an abundance of sea wildlife. And the halibut fishing fantastic! No wonder it is known for world class cruising. We're definitely going back next time with an enclosure! Thanks to Yukon Bob for organizing and guiding us through this area. Trip of a lifetime!

Finally heard back from S/V Madrone from Elfin cove. Beautiful Taswell 43 we took out fishing while docked there.

This looks like an awesome trip. I need to make a list of fishing gear to buy. My wife has been bugging me about why we haven't fished from our boat yet! My father-in-law knows how to raise them right :)
