Starting with a tropical vibe, this voyage will head to a place that speaks to the imagination. Dutch Harbor, a place of fishery and boating, will be our entry port to Alaska.
Although there are many miles to cover between Hawaii and Dutch Harbor, we will aim at having as many days as possible to explore the Aleutian Islands.
Once we leave the Hawaiian islands, we will head into the North East trade winds, making as much North as we can. In summer time, we will loose the trade winds fairly quickly making way to the influence of a high pressure area. This will make for some very interesting ocean sailing! With sail changes, keeping up with the weather reports and all hands when we need to set the topsails, or reef down all sails!
Northern right whales, humpbacks and orca’s may be spotted along the way as they frequent these waters in summer time.
This voyage is all an ocean crossing can encumber. Over 2000 miles of ocean, all in one go. This should take around 14-16 days. Getting into a daily routine, many hours steering on watch, night watches, team work and sailing through different weather zones, experiencing it all and seeing it all in the changing wildlife. Get ready for some true exploring, as the Aleutian Islands are not visited by many yachts. Otters roam free as do cows and sheep on several islands. Hiking is beautiful, but so is sitting still on a stone watching the playful otters as they frolic around.
