Finally Photos!

Into Ketchikan,  Alaska.  Cruise ships dot the shoreline.  Sometimes 5 a day.  The town settles down after 5pm when everyone leaves. 
A totem to the eagles in downtown Ketchikan.  There are literally dozen throughout the city. 
Our first icebergs in Tracy Arm just before Juneau.
Mama bear and her three cubs.  Two is the norm.  Three is quite unusual we've heard.  These were in Tracy Arm Cove right at the beginning of our trip up Tracy Arm.  We spent our first night there then motored up to the Sawyer Glacier and then back to the same anchorage.  There aren't many places to spend the night in the area. 



Here's the chunk of iceberg we took aboard for drinks.  Perfectly clear and stayed frozen in drinks far longer than regular ice we make on board. 





This berg is as big as a cruise ship.

Into Juneau, Alaska--cloudy of course.
Sunrise outside of Coughlan Anchorage by Hartley Bay in British Columbia.

Shadow relaxing on deck.  He perfers to be on a piece of material than on the deck.
Second mate at the wheel.  She still has a bit to learn while on watch.  She's got a short attention span and doesn't understand charts worth a darn.
Here is part of the fog rainbow we observed a while ago.  Click on the photo for a bigger picture.
These two photos were taken within a few seconds of each other.  One over the bow toward the full moon and the other toward the stern showing Zephyrs wake and the Sun rising.

British Camp on San Juan Island.  The site of the "Pig Wars"of 1859.
Shadow taking a break.  He loves to slip under one of our comforters.  The two we use all the time were gifts from Christie and Mary Myrup.  They make life in the cockpit MUCH better.  They're with us just about every day.

That's about it for the photo blog.  There will be more as time and internet permits.
