Great to see the progress north and the challenges that come along. The tide in that channel look epic. James, your description of your food is very impressive. Glad to see you enjoying eating the last of your broccoli. See next time

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Thanks so much for tuning in Peter! James said he has some ‘fond’ memories eating broccoli as a kid. And now here I am persuading him to eat moldy crowns😅😂

[@rickinnes]

Wow , thank you 🙏- impressive video! Look forward to the next one .

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Amazing, we’re so glad you enjoyed it! Looking forward to sharing the next one, cheers!

[@mikeh4245]

Lovely video, as always. Seeing the dolly varden took me back to my youngster days, fishing for kokanee salmon on Kootenay Lake back in the 70s and my uncle catching dollies once in awhile when he took us out trolling. Always grateful that we relocated there from the Vancouver area and that I got to grow up in such a scenic area.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Awh, such nice memories! Such beautiful wilderness in that area. Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed the video! See you in the next one!

[@davidmartin6273]

Very nice job on this video! It’s not as easy as it looks to capture the essence of a small town, but you did it very well here. The photography was beautiful. Your meals are looking like they just arrived from a 5 star restaurant’s kitchen. Good job.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

This is such a nice compliment. Thank you!!!

[@jbontherlt2965]

Thank you for producing this excellent episode. You are both great narrators. Just amazing.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Awe, Thank you so much! We really appreciate that! 🙏🏽

[@carlalo9861]

👍Loving your videos through northwest passage. Amazing landscape. Great photography. What a gorgeous part of the US and to boot, a little Norway in the US. How great is that. Great shot of the beautiful swimming moose. You two fix the most scrumptious meals on board. Bon appetit. Thanks for sharing.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

So glad you’re enjoying the Alaska szn! Thank you, it sure is a dreamscape! We were stoked to see our first moose out here, didn’t expect to see one in the water. Glad you’re enjoying the food too, thanks for writing!! We’ll see you in the next one, cheers!

[@DrMaddog]

[@cat30285]

Besides the great sailing, and scenery, great boating food

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Food is definitely a big part of the adventure! So glad you're enjoying it all, cheers!

[@ronkirk5099]

Back in the day, I sailed the B.C. portion of the inside passage as part of a high latitude singlehanded circumnavigation. Later I kayaked two different routes paddling from Seattle to Skagway. The second trip was 14 weeks and I made side trips up 3 fjords to tidewater glaciers and then to Glacier Bay N.P. before heading to Skagway for the ferry ride back to Bellingham. The primitive camping and wildlife is just spectacular. I highly recommend this paddle.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Wow, sounds like an epic journey! That's an incredible experience, I can only imagine the amazing scenery and wildlife you experienced. We met quite a few folks on similar expeditions. Respect for those in smaller hulls than ours! Thank you for sharing your adventures, cheers!

[@edwardrose4180]

Wonderful episode! That poor moose! 🙂

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

So glad you liked it! Incredible swimmers those moose, but def risky crossing with all those racey skiffs yikes haha catch you in the next one. Cheers!

[@bobreality3105]

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Thank you for sharing your kind words! Really looking forward to sharing the next few with you, cheers!

[@3boysbees]

Whilst in Alaska I paddled over two moose grazing lake grasses, they were like 8 feet underwater. Terrific swimmers.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Oh wow, that’s pretty incredible!

[@LorrieLewis-l8y]

Loving your well thought out videos, amazing content! ❤

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

[@dalebrabb4756]

Love Petersburg, I've been based out of there a couple of times while building cabins on remote lakes for the Forest Service. Used to wet our whiskers at Kito's Kave as I recall. Good restaurants too, fresh caught shrimp was a treat.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Awesome! We really enjoyed our time in Petersburg. Free ice! We also wet or whistles in Kito’s Kave, what a treat haha Loves a good dive bar

[@dentaltok]

Great video … AHAR MATES…steady as she goes .. proper ‘ting Neuf … 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️💖👍

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Ahoy there! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🛳️

[@peaceforchildren4303]

beautiful mountains... and wow a moose!

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Hahah we were not expecting the moose

[@lloydbrown9327]

Thanks for fulfilling my Sunday! Great history of the area!

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

So glad to be a part of your Sunday! Thanks for writing, we’ll see you in the next one💫

[@derekmcqueen4589]

Thanks!

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Thank you so much for continuing to keep the show on the road Derek!! Can't wait to share the next one with you

[@mpetrino7330]

Allison & James, hi from Calgary, always look forward to enjoying an episode. I applaud you for continuing to include actual sailing components to your content. Didn't know sailing the inside passage was so challenging. There's enough to concentrate on without keeping an eye out for Moose !!! crossing the channel. Make contact with a big Bull weighing 1500 lbs on land and in water and you would come to a full stop and check for damage, Damage to the boat not the Moose. Great catch seeing it, thanks.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Hi there! So glad you’re enjoying the sailing content. The inside passage is a different kettle of fish from sailing offshore, protected calm seas but logistically challenging with currents and tides. We’re use to keeping an eye out for logs but a moose was new haha grateful it made it back to shore safely. Thanks for writing, we’ll see you in the next one. Cheers!

[@garthjones3747]

always waiting for your videos and great as ever thanks G

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Awe, glad to be a part of your Sunday! Thank you so much, we’ll see you in the next one!

[@JohnMonsterCanada]

Thanks again for starting off my day with this beautiful scenery. Merry Christmas to both of you 🎄

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Cheers! Happy holidays and all the best for 2025

[@CODE3p141]

Yes, food looks good.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Good food is a big part of the journey. Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@robertmray]

[@OutsiderYeti]

An epic video once again! And the gravlax sandwiches look so delicious.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Thanks so much Peter! So glad you enjoyed it. We hoped you’d enjoy the gravlax segment, cheers!

[@christophegreve46]

Awesome stuff, I want to go there!!

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Hope you can make it out here soon! Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@tomshumard5258]

My wife would love to have your grivlax receipe. I couldn't find it listed below. It's been great to follow your progress on your way north to Alaska. We travelled many of the same routes in our North River 31SXL this summer. Many of your videos were very helpful in route and anchorage selection. Thanks!!! Cheers🍺🍺

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Awh, cool! So glad we could help with your planning! Oops, the gravlax recipe is in the video description now. Here you go!: 1 (2 pound; 900g) skin-on sushi-grade salmon fillet 1 teaspoon coriander seeds & red pepper flakes (or whatever spices you have on hand) 1/4 cup kosher salt (about 4 tablespoons), plus more for washing salmon 1/4 cup sugar (about 4 tablespoons) 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper or black pepper Fresh dill 1. Toast seeds until fragrant. Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind finely. 2. In a small bowl, stir together salt, sugar, ground caraway and coriander seeds, and white or black pepper until thoroughly combined. 3. Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Put fish in container with curing mixture (salt, sugar & spices) and herbs. Refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours. We also give a run down in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnrFlqJja8usmpI (around 17:30 mins) Hope you enjoy!

[@Coyotehello]

@@AllisonandJamesSailing Do not under estimate our beautiful cold ocean! Our compressor crapped-out and (at 1500$+) the fridge returned to an icebox. With that we often just throw food overboard... In a strong plastic bag (with a lanyard attached) or some plastic bags into a rugged bucket and let it sink about a foot. Too deep for the birds to shallow for the proposes. If we ever are lucky enough to catch a fish I fillet it and rinse it in ocean water. The water is often colder than our "icebox"! 🙂

[@patsymartin3634]

Awesome!

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Glad you enjoyed it, cheers!

very nice camera work

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it 🙏🏽

[@MrHogadog]

Cool video- beautiful! Who has the right of way with a moose? Starboard vessel gives way?

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Hahah always give way to Moose 🫎 Glad you enjoyed it. Stoked to share the next one, cheers!

[@jimmyjames2022]

Great fun watching your travels through Wrangell Narrows to Petersburg. Your meals always look so amazing. I feel for the moose competing with boat traffic trying to get across during nice weather and friendly tide. Professional guides should be more cautious than the boat you mentioned.

[@AllisonandJamesSailing]

Eating is high priority aboard our ship haha So glad you enjoyed it this one. Keep your eyes peeled for moose folks. Here’s hoping that brave guy is still swimming strong!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

If you want to see what Norways coastal settlements looks like have a look at Sailing Umas visit and journey up to Svarbad.
