Practical
Coordinate is the OSM harbour point at Elfin Cove. ADF&G: space is first-come, first-served; fuel dock; electricity (hookup plus usage fee); a general and liquor store; laundry and showers; a bar and grill; a post office; lodges. Contact the community at (907) 239-2226; the fuel dock number printed by ADF&G is (904) 239-2208, an area code that looks like a typo, so confirm before dialing. Air service runs from Juneau. Depths and entry conditions are unconfirmed; the outer coast can be rough, so check the forecast.
