We've continued to have pleasant water conditions, and we are so thankful for every comfortable day at sea.
We spent a couple of days in Auke Bay, which is the convenient mooring location for boaters near Juneau. There we rented a car for a day, and were able to stock up on more supplies. the next morning, we were joined by Neil & Myrtle Snider, who flew in to spend a week of cruising with us. We toured the Mendenhall Glacier Park, did a rigorous hike to huge waterfalls, climbing over house-sized boulders from a rock slide over the pathway. It was challenging and rewarding, to get to our destination and stand in the waterfall spray. Kaiser made it all the way bravely too. There will be pictures to follow.
Yesterday we blew in, literally, to Skagway, our most northerly destination. It's my favourite of 'touristy' Alaska town, and we are enjoying our time here. But the harbor seems to be a windbowl, and docking was so tricky that Kaiser took an unplanned dive from the bow of the boat, and thankfully swam in the direction of a dock where a kind person plucked him out of the shivery sea. Actually, it was his second swim of the day, having gotten spilled out of the kayak earlier in the morning!!! Brave dog, is right. He sure is clean now.
We are enjoying our experiences; glad for every sunny day, even though the wind is chilly. And when it rains, we stay inside the boat where we are dry and warm.
til next time..........

Hey guys! what an exciting journey! The 25-mile dingy ride sounded like a real nail biter. I'd like some more details. Like were the waves big--I mean Totoya BIG? I know it couldn't be, but was put in mind of our adventure together there. Wow, the salmon look absolutely humungus. How long did it take to land those beasts?? I love the big rock photo. Matti is really into beeg,beeg,beeg rocksh, and I've just been with him for a totally satisfying weekend of "Come, GG,", etc. Have some more travel fun for us. hugs, Gwen, for Don too
