On the short run from Sullivan to Echo bay, we tried some trolling, but no bites:
We arrived at Echo Bay as six other boats made their arrivals. We missed most of the docking scramble and by the time we got in, everything was sorted out and we got a nice spot on an inside dock for the night:
We first crossed paths with Alpenglow (another George Buhler design - same guy who designed our boat) at Ketchikan. We found their boat card one morning by our door but we didn't get to meet in person. When we arrived at Echo Bay we were pleased to see Alpenglow docked right across the way. We spent part of the afternoon getting to know Kurt and Marcia and exchanging boat tours, favorite anchorages and travel stories.
We got to spend some time with Billy Proctor at his homestead in the next cove over from Echo Bay. Billy has lived here all his life and made his living fishing and logging. He built a museum on his property to display an amazing variety of artifacts and archeological finds he has collected over the years. Billy is a great guy and we were glad to see him still living here and doing his thing.
