Patterson Glacier, as viewed from Frederick Sound We have lots of catching up to do! We have been out of cell phone/internet service for so often, it is hard to keep up,,,
We arrived in Auke Bay, Juneau, on Saturday, July 6th. It was good to be in a big town and be able to get groceries etc, and Dave was happy to get the boat washed. We also both got hair cuts (it had been almost 7 weeks) so now we have some not-so-great haircuts to grow out... While we were in Juneau we decided to take a day tour to Tracy Arm to view Sawyer Glacier. We are SO glad we did this rather than try to anchor there ourselves and navigate through the ice. Dave certainly enjoyed it a lot more than he would have if he had been skippering our own boat through all that ice! Plus, we never would have taken our boat so close to the glacier. It was really a great experience and we hope our pictures do it justice.
We left Auke Bay and headed for Taku Harbor on Wednesday, July 9th. Did great crabbing there! Someone we met there highly recommended we go up Seymour Canal to Windfall Harbor. It was out of our way, but we decided to try it. It did not measure up to the billing, but as they say, "nothing ventured, nothing gained". So then we went back to Pybus Bay, where we had been earlier in our trip, and then finally today back to Petersburg. We plan to go to Wrangell tomorrow, and that will be a new port that we look forward to visiting. The picture above was taken today just before we arrived in Petersburg. So beautiful! We say so many humpback whales along the way today, as we have almost every day. They are really quite a sight. Everytrhing up here is larger than life!!
