We visited the Tracey Arm/Ford's Terror Wilderness Area again in July 2015 on a charter trip, and captured this amazing video of the tidal rapids at Ford's Terror at (nearly) maximum flood.  At maximum flood (or ebb) in Ford's Terror, 6-8 ft standing (tidal) waves will form at the entrance to this narrow fjord approximately every 6 hours with the diurnal tides present at this latitude.

The Charter Boat Ursa Major Underway in the Inside Passage of Alaska - a Drone's Eye View

Josh took advantage of an absolutely beautiful day in southeast Alaska last summer to fly his drone while the Ursa Major was underway.  This was not exactly an easy task, as following the Ursa Major at a speed of 7.8 kts can be a bit tricky.     

Enjoy the video, and please feel free to share with all enthusiasts of the Ursa Major!
