10 June 2020: Paradise --> Holgate --> McMullen "Sailing around the face of Holgate Glacier was definitely a life sailing highlight for us. It was so quiet, serene, yet we were alert and very aware of the ice. Brent reflected how having been to Holgate so many times, being there under sail felt like the first time he was seeing everything. A fresh perspective on a familiar place. For him, this afternoon was a culmination, or a new level, of driving boats through icy water, reading the wind and water, and having the boat move exactly the way you intended it to. I loved the flow we got into as a team on the sheets and the tiller, streaming through the silt-tinted green-grey waters and making graceful turns around chunks of ice sparkling in the evening sun." We had to tear ourselves away from the glacier in the late evening to sail south to McMullen Cove for the night. We anchored in our usual spot in about 130 feet of water, protected by a shoal with great views of steep mountains, small waves, and a beach combing black bear.
