Bears in Red Bluff Bay
Add Red Bluff Bay as another spectacular place on a long list of spectacular places. This is a long narrow inlet and gets its name from the prominent red rock bluff that is at the entrance. It is a treeless rock ridge that is very different from all the other rock formations up here. There are dozens of waterfalls cascading into the inlet as you journey down to the end where you anchor in front of a large grassy river delta. And yep, there are bears! We spotted a momma and a cub grizzly foraging on the river bank and we were able to get fairly close by kayak before momma stood up, sensed us and took baby off into the woods at a rapid pace. Debbie was hanging back quite certain that the bear was going to come swimming out to us so her photos are of little brown specks in the grass but I think she was as thrilled as one could be. She is just amazed at the spectacular scenery and I am not sure if she has more photos of fishing boats or waterfalls or whales off in the distance but it is a good thing her camera is digital or her photo developing bill would break the bank.,
The bugs are out finally but they were not too bad anchored out but try paddling ashore and they eat you alive. Better them than the Grizzly’s however.
Glen found a waterfall that he could motor right up to with the big boat and stick the bow into the waterfall with 125 feet of water still under his boat. Got some good photos of them getting a shower and boat wash.
Were headed east today, towards Kake and then on to Petersburg by Sunday. We should be able to post this somewhere enroute today. I have been surprised at the number of places we have had connectivity. Certainly not in the bay where I am writing this but when we get out we should be in sight of the cell tower above Baranoff Hot Springs. We were able to cruise down the middle of Chatham Strait yesterday and Chris was able to get to her email and banking and I was able to post the last blog. Pretty cool stuff this technology we have.
The generator is acting up again, sucking air from somewhere. I tightened all the connections again and got it running and it stayed running and the fuel bowel on the filter stayed full so maybe this time I stopped the air leak. Other than this reoccurring problem everything is still running well. As long as the engines start every morning and we can charge the batteries each day were in good shape.

Hi Tom,
Love your blogs. I've begun but have a couple questions. I've saved your links to my link list, but then when I view my blog they're not there?? Also, how do you upload from your cell phone. I thought you had to be at a dock for BBX?? One more...do pictures have to be uploaded one at a time? And do you recommend pics first or blog first then add pics?
Talk to you soon, Linda
Liz thinks you may have left one of the lines blank on the form you fill out in the administrator area where you add the links. You need to name the blog. The address allows you to link to our blog but without a name nothing will show on your site under links. name our blog miners blog and dodges blog and see if they show up that way.
I do not know how to do it from a cell phone, I use my wireless air card from verizon to connect.
I do one photo at a time. And i have found that I have to use an editing program to crop and size them and once i do that they go every time. If i do not crop them they take forever and usually do not load. Not sure why that is because cropping does not reduce the size of the file but that works for me. When they load you will get a screen shot of your page but the photo will be in hyroglyphics and it will always appear at the top of the page. You have to cut that portion of the blog out and paste it where you want the photo to appear or they will always be on top of the blog.
I do the words so i can always get that posted if the connection is slow and then i go back and put in photos. Good luck, it is a learning experience.
