[status] Motored 12nm to Hook Bay to check out a local legend's old digs. Many many years ago a Swedish guy called Smokey Chris built himself a cabin in this bay which also had a nearby log cabin version of the Australian brick shit house which was strong enough to withstand a bear attack. Legend has it that he lived a subsistence life out here only coming into the Chignik town twice a year to stock up on nails and a few other essential items. Each visit he'd end up getting drunk and would try to fight everyone in the town, then walk back home with his supplies. All the locals that spoke of him did so in likeable tones and had clearly a lot of respect for what he managed to achieve. But that was a long time ago, his cabin is now in a state of bad disrepair. Not sure how long we'll stay here, the weather is crap making any move over the next few days a potentially rough passage.

[weather] 20-25kts from the NW, no swell, 100% cloud cover, snow capped mountains and 1002 on the bar.
