We are in Auke Bay now, and I have a place to leave the boat for up to 10 days if I need to. Chris flew home last night on the 830 pm flight. Iola is still fighting to stay alive but it is just a matter of time according to family. I will wait until we have a definitive outcome and then make arrangements to head home. Until then I will hang out here in Juneau and clean the boat, do laundry and restock with supplies. I will fly home for the funeral if it comes to that and then return to start moving the boat towards Sitka and catch up with glen and Liz whereever they may be. Hopefully Chris will be able to return with Debbie at the end of the month and we can resume our trip together.
this is certainly a sad disruption of the trip but it was not unexpected and we have been waiting for the call that finally came yesterday afternooon.
Becky and Mikey leave tonight on the 830 pm flight and so I will have the boat to myself for a while. We will miss the kids, we had a great week and saw some awesome things. Todays trip into downtown Juneau will not go down as one of the more awsome thngs. We used the public transportation system and it was quite an experience in both directions. It was quicker going in to town than returning with a jam packed bus that kept getting more passengers at each stop and no one getting off. The passengers were quite an eclectic mix of locals and tourists. It is a long way from Auke bay to downtown Juneau so for a buck 50 vs a 25 dollar cab ride we will put up with a little oddity.
We decided that our way of cruising Alaska beats the cruise ship model. There were three big ships in Juneau today and the streets were filled with tourists. w/e actually felt out of place among all these people We have ot seen those kinds of crowds since leaving seattle a month and a half aco.
I filled up with fuel here for a paltry $4.46 a gallon plus tax.
Beats the heck out of Wrangell fuel prices.
