Sailing Bristol Channel Cutter, Alaska part IV

I sailed my 28' Bristol Channel Cutter JUNESSA from Gig Harbor, WA to Petersburg, AK and back. I made an unplanned side trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands, then made a two half day open ocean crossing to Port Hardey.

Hi! Rick here.... I'm originally from Duluth, MN...eh! My father was in the Coast Guard, so we moved every couple years. I consider Alaska HOME. I really hope to return to The Last Frontier after my world tour onboard JUNESSA. Thanks for the comments! CHEERS!!

Incredible video! I also reside in Gig Harbor, on the water directly across from Tides Tavern.

I miss my sailing days, I use to race aboard a 42' C&C out of TYC until the skipper lost his pep from old age :/

Someday I hope to acquire a sailboat of my own and take the exact same voyage!

Thanks for the sneak peak and congrats!

Hi Zamborick. Thanks! I've only done a wee bit of sailing off the coast of Maine,

Down Isld (St John, St T. USVI and BVI's - that's where I first learned how not

to sail! And I guess my love of being on the water started very early in life.

Enjoy your adventures

Nice Rick!

Are you originally from WA state? I grew up in Gig Harbor (my folks live off of soundview). Went to HS at Bellarmine Prep.

Great video!
