Auke Bay, Juneau

June 22-23, 2013

The rain is back, but we are just so happy we had such great weather going up Tracy Arm. We leave Taku Harbor at 6:00am, arriving Auke Bay Marina at 10:30. The marina is first come first served and the fishing fleet is in and all the spots are taken when we arrive. After about an hour of milling around a spot on the breakwater opens up and we are able to get Tom & Carolyn on land to get their flight out.

We awake Sunday morning to a beautiful sunny day and realize what a gorgeous setting we are in, surrounded once again by mountains and a beautiful peak of Mendenhall Glacier. There is an eagle perched on the navigational tower not 100 feet from the stern of the boat and there seem

Majestic eagle just 100 feet from our stern.

What?!  Eagle sitting on the top of a mast had his wings spread like this for 5 minutes, then along comes a seagull.  Strange sight...

to be more eagles than seagulls! I love going to bed and waking up hearing all the eagles “talking”.

    • Thanks so much for that! It’s been a real challenge as most of the time (like 90%) there is no wifi or cell coverage so when we get to civilization I have to find a coffee shop with wifi and most of the time it either doesn’t work or is SO sloooow downloading photos that it’s usually at least an hour per blog! So, your positive feedback just makes it all worthwhile.

      Hope we see you when we’re back in the San Juan’s…it has been way way too long!
