Another relatively short day paddling down Lisianski strait, mostly helped by an outgoing tide, and into Greentop harbor, followed by some visiting. Nothing especially notable, except for the beautiful scenery of the outer coast, and the confusing though pretty labyrinth of Greentop harbor. At one time, Greentop was a cannery town. Never very big, it currently has a few seasonal residents and a Forest Service cabin. The cabin can be reached from Greentop Harbor, but in foul weather can also be accessed from Lisianski Strait, via a trail to "Chickenshit Cove," more politely known as "Chicken Cove." Like the rest of this stretch, our weather was perfect, with hardly any wind and sunny weather, so we headed through "Hole in the Wall" and into Greentop through the harbor itself.
One of Jason's research colleagues has a seasonal cabin at Greentop, so after moving our stuff into the large USFS cabin, we wandered over, chatted with the neighbors (who are full time Pelican residents, escaping to Greentop during the summer to get away from the noise!) and had an excellent dinner: salmon, bread, salad grown in the garden. A very pleasant evening.
