Cat's Head Cove | Alaska [ENG-GER]

(edited)

Finally we say our goodbyes to Sitka and head out of a civilized area and get to enjoy the peace and Alaskan Wilderness. All to ourselves...

Abschied von Sitka – jetzt geht’s raus aus dem Zivilisationsbereich und rein in die Ruhe der alaskischen Wildnis. Ganz für uns allein...

It took us about 11 hours to reach Cat's Head Cove from Sitka and as seen in the image above it was already getting dark.

Es hat uns etwa 11 Stunden gekostet, um von Sitka zur Cat's Head Cove zu gelangen, und wie man auf dem Bild oben sehen kann, wurde es bereits dunkel.

Now, l'm not completely sure if this looks like a Cat's Head, but it seems similar - l just can't make it out... Let me know if you can, down in the comments!

Also, ich bin nicht ganz sicher, ob das wie ein Katzenkopf aussieht, aber es scheint ähnlich zu sein – ich kann es einfach nicht genau erkennen... Lasst mich gerne in den Kommentaren wissen, ob ihr es könnt!

Instead of staying in our boat we decided to take out the dingy and take a look at the south Anchorage since we didn't anchor there and at the same time enjoy the sunset

Anstatt auf unserem Boot zu bleiben, haben wir uns entschieden, das Beiboot zu nehmen und uns den südlichen Ankerplatz anzusehen, da wir dort nicht vor Anker gegangen sind – und gleichzeitig den Sonnenuntergang zu genießen.

South Anchorage: Cat's Tail Cove.

Now this makes more sense to me, this actually does look like a cat's tail.

Jetzt ergibt das für mich mehr Sinn – das sieht tatsächlich aus wie ein Katzenschwanz!

After checking out Cat's Tail Cove we wanted to go out and see if we could see any whales - because when we came in we saw a whale or Orca and we were happy that we anchored in the north as there were way too many mosquitos in the South anchorage.

Nachdem wir uns die Cat's Tail Cove angesehen hatten, wollten wir hinausfahren und nach Walen Ausschau halten – denn bei der Ankunft hatten wir einen Wal oder Orca gesichtet. Wir waren froh, dass wir im Norden geankert hatten, da es im südlichen Ankerplatz viel zu viele Mücken gab.

As seen in the image above, you can clearly tell how this anchorage is protected from the swell. Even with our small dingy we could get out in the waves.

Wie man auf dem Bild oben sehen kann, erkennt man deutlich, wie dieser Ankerplatz vor der Dünung geschützt ist. Sogar mit unserem kleinen Beiboot konnten wir problemlos aufs Wasser hinausfahren.

We climbed a huge bolder and got the best view for the sunset, and as we guessed there was a whale feeding - coming up every now and then to catch his breath.

Wir kletterten auf einen riesigen Felsen und hatten die beste Aussicht für den Sonnenuntergang. Und wie wir vermutet hatten, war dort ein Wal auf Nahrungssuche – er tauchte immer wieder auf, um Luft zu holen.

Just to the left of this image was a whale but it was too dark to capture with a phone camera.

Gleich links neben diesem Bild war ein Wal, aber es war zu dunkel, um ihn mit einer Handykamera festzuhalten.

Now that l have been writing this blog l really regret taking a drone picture from 500 meter because l'm sure if l did do that l'd recognize the cat, but l geuss l'll do that when l came back in the future!

Jetzt, wo ich diesen Blog schreibe, bereue ich es wirklich, kein Drohnenfoto aus 500 Metern Höhe gemacht zu haben – ich bin sicher, dann hätte ich die Katze erkannt! Aber ich schätze, das hole ich nach, wenn ich in Zukunft zurückkomme!

l will definitely never forget this Anchorage, have a wonderful start of the week, and stay safe!

Until next time,

Kon

Diesen Ankerplatz werde ich ganz sicher nie vergessen! wünsche euch einen wundervollen Wochenstart und passt auf euch auf!
Bis zum nächsten Mal,
Kon

Sounds amazing that you have this awesome place all to yourselves! 😍 Looks so calm and serene. I imagine how refreshing it would be to get away from the city. 😆 I'm not sure I see the cat's head.. but maybe a little? 😁 What lovely views all around there. Happy midweek!

Stunning view everywhere. It's really like a cat's tail.

Wow! The view is breathtaking, capturing the sun almost complimenting the clouds and having its reflections on the waters is really captivatingly beautiful.
The sight is so catchy to the eyes, the vision is clear and calm to the eyes.
This is definitely a beautiful shot @konquest.
My warm regards 😊
