Final VIDEO–Arrival in Sitka Sound
August 17, 2012
July 12th. After 22 days and 2500 miles of ocean, Murre is finally within Sitka Sound, ringed by snow-capped mountains and the easy motion of trawlers going about their business on the sea. What a sight…

Murre and the Pacific 
Nice set of vids all taken, well done and very well narrated. You mentioned spotting the volcano from far out at sea – do you spot land over a distance by bare eyesight, or are you scanning the horizon with binoculars? If binocs, what sort of power works on a boat? I’d guess low power ‘nocs due to the constant motion of the ship? In the pirate movies you see Jack Sparrow with a really long spyglass…but seriously…what’s the practical limit of magnification on a pitching ship? And I assume hand-held is a must, no tripod… do you sailor types dabble in these newfangled gyroscope stabilized glasses?
Been following your trip. Amazing!
Thanks to your mom – she sends me the news and I click on.
Will put your travels in our Desert Mobile Home News when we start
again late September.

Joan, Thank you for the comment. I’d be honored to be in the Desert Mobile Home News. If can, please send a little warmth this way. Even in the sun, I’m freezing.
