After another spectacular sunrise over Baranof Warm Springs, guests took advantage of a slow start to revisit the steaming natural pools one last time. With the sun still shining and spirits high, we set off mid-morning for our next destination—the breathtaking Red Bluff Bay.

The short cruise meant more time to relax and take in the dramatic scenery. Towering red-hued cliffs and cascading waterfalls greeted us as we entered the bay, and the calm, reflective waters made for the perfect afternoon to explore by dinghy, paddleboard, or simply soak in the serenity from the comfort of the deck.

As the sun began to dip, we gathered aboard Deception for a lively happy hour filled with shared stories, laughter, and that unmistakable sense of camaraderie that only grows stronger with each passing day on the water.
