I’m officially unemployed! [Matt to be clear. 😉] After 22 years, 5 months, and 19 days, my time at Microsoft has come to an end. What am I doing now? Boating of course!! At least for the next three years: Alaska, California, Mexico, Panama Canal, and then the Great Loop!!

Today’s float plan included heading towards the Anan Wildlife Observatory to see some bears. Since the anchorage there is tight, we decided to anchor in Fools Inlet. It is just across the Bradfield Canal from the observatory and will be a quick dinghy ride over tomorrow.

On the trip up we were joined by a playful group of dolphins that were playing in our wake and swimming out in front and across our bow.
