[status] We're thoroughly enjoying our gunk-holing down the SE coast of Alaska. Another day another new anchorage, this next one was just a mere 6nms around the corner to Kimshan Cove via a very tight cut which was not much wider than the length of Iolea. Fortunately the charts were good; which was a stark contrast to the last anchorage which didn't show a drying shoal that was so large you needed to ensure you did not swing any closer than 100m to the 5m contour at the head of the bay. Back to Kimshan Cove though, wow what a sensationally well protected anchorage; your only exposed to a NW wind, the bottom is sandy mud and is as flat as a billiard table with very easy 10-15m anchoring depths. We'll just stay here one night though as we do need to make progress south, and there is a lot of wind and rain coming in 2-3 days which will be looking to hide from via an anchorage as well protected as this.

[weather] Clear skies, no wind or swell.
