Margie, an accomplished single-handed sailor, photographer, and a niece, boards Jupiter in Ketchikan. The float plan for her cruise describes a 180nm widdershins circumnavigation of the island of Revillagigedo – pronounced Revillagigedo. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Along the Behm<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Behm Canal, named by George Vancouver in 1787 for Major Magnus von Behm, a Latvian in Russian Kamchatka service, is a deep natural channel circumscribing the southern, eastern and northern shores of the island. Explorers, ancient and modern, have ventured into a wilderness of steep fjords, fecund forests and sublime anchorages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the west coast of Revillagigedo, the Tongass Narrows belongs to Ketchikan which occupies, thickly or thinly, its entire shoreline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the seven days of Jupiter’s voyage no one sets foot ashore. Life aboard looks out and lives in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sailing into Misty Fjords feels as if Jupiter is traveling upwards, but sea-level being what it is, the escarpments are doing all of the ascending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
