“.May 28….S.Naknek…Left for Nushagak @ 6;00 at the beginning of the ebb tide. Had some trouble with the belts and did not get out of the river till 6:30. Went down to Johnson Hill, close into shore then cut across to Nushagak on 240 degrees mag. Picked up a false point below Dead Man Sands and followed the coast down. Was fooled into a false bay 1 hr. before the true mouth of Nushagak Bay. Came in too close to shore and had to motor out to avoid shoals. Within sight of Ekuk Bluffs by 12:00. Weather hot + sunny, sea smooth. Travelled at 3500 rpm. Anchored the night off Clarks Point in 25 ft. Many tenders anchored about but only a few boats. Very tired after so many days of preparation (arrived Naknek May 9….installed new engine, steering,etc)….”
