[status] As we get ready to head east across the Gulf the weather is top of mind. The great westerly based breeze that has hung around for 7-10 days has ceased. Can't see any decent wind seven days out, so we risk having to motor. Thought it prudent to go into Cordova. This turned out to be a lovely little town and a productive stop. We arrived late afternoon, dropped off 4 bags of rubbish, re-provisioned, topped up our propane, refueled, met up with a couple of cruiser boats we'd met up here. Had a great walk around town and the best dinner i've had in Alaska which was the "Mussels & Clams" dish at "The Reluctant Fisherman". Currently heading back out to stage ourselves to most probably head out early tomorrow morning across the gulf for Icy Bay. Our staging point will be the Garden Cove anchorage in the SW corner of Hinchinbrook Island.

[weather] Clear skies, no wind or swell of course.
