July 29, Point Windham to Snettisham Peninsula

Another good paddling day with great mileage.  Left camp late-morning (typical start for me) and paddled most of the morning to the Southeast side of Holkham Bay, where I grabbed a snack and took a short break.  The crossing of Holkham Bay was especially beautiful, with good views up Tracy and Endicott Arms, and especially of the poetically named Sumdum Glacier.

Grabbed water and ate dinner in a cove North of Point Coke; this might be a reasonable campsite, though I did not explore extensively.  Then camped above a pretty beach on the Snettisham Peninsula, about half way between Holkham Bay and Port Snettisham, just to the Northeast of the Midway Islands.

Another solid mileage day, despite contrary currents (never did get a favorable current in Stephens Passage) and rain off and on all day.
