Hello,
     My name is Talia.
     This blog covers the four weeks during the summer of 2012 that I spent sailing in SE Alaska, circumnavigating Chichagof Island. I joined an expedition aboard S/V Privateer with Captain Peter Frost and his partner and first mate, Kelsey.
     Privateer is a 36 ft Cape George cutter (with a 5 ft draft) built by the Cape George Yard in Port Townsend, Washington. The full-keeled Cape George cutters are a wooden boat inside a fiber glass hull and were designed by William Atkin.
     I've put this trip blog in chronological order so it can be read from beginning to end. I hope it may be helpful to others considering sailing in SE Alaska.

I wrote an article about my trip which was published in the January 2013 issue of Seattle's 48 North.
