Crossing the delta and some ocean to Wrangell in calm, but cloudy conditions. The first portion of the crossing mainly involved trying to find deep enough water through the mud flats. Several times, we had to push the raft. Remarkably, it did not rain much on us despite what was going on not far away. For the final part of the crossing, the tidal currents dominated and we, knowingly because of the usable weather, were crossing on the wrong, incoming, tide. With an outgoing tide, we probably would have had good current all the way to the harbor. As it was, we had to wait for a while for the currents to slow to get around the top of Wrangell Island.
