Winter Harbor Walk in Wrangell | Day 18 Update North

This video is a winter harbor walk through the second half of Heritage Harbor in Wrangell, Alaska, as snow moves in fast and daylight disappears early in Southeast Alaska. We take you dock-to-dock through the Wrangell harbor, sharing working boats, liveaboard life in Alaska, commercial fishing vessels, abandoned boats, and the quiet rhythm of winter settling in along the docks. Along the way, we also share a relaxed Day 18 update on our plan to head north—where things stand with our Alaska boat journey, how winter weather and short daylight are influencing the timeline, and why we’re letting the season lead instead of forcing a Gulf of Alaska crossing. We also run into our friend, a commercial fisherman, processing stripe shrimp on his fishing boat—one of those classic harbor moments that reminds us why we love Alaska harbor life and working waterfronts. There’s no rush here today, other than Scott’s hands nearly going numb and wanting to go grab some professional commercial fishing photos for our friend. We enjoyed the squid (free calamari!), some unexpected dockside conversations, and a peaceful winter walk through Wrangell. If you enjoy liveaboard boat life, winter boating in Alaska, harbor walks, commercial fishing boats, and real-time updates from life aboard in Southeast Alaska, you’re in the right place. Thanks for walking the harbor with us. – Audrey & Scott
