Had to take one more picture of the RVs in Sitka this time from the Harbor looking up.
We are on a different boat from Sitka to Juneau than all of the other legs of the trip. The Fairweather is a 19200 horsepower catamaran. The specs say it can do 50 mph but cruises normal at 35 mph. This made for a 6 hour trip. It was also nice that we did not have to board in the middle of the night like the rest of the legs. We boarded at a nice 12:30 PM and arrived at 7:45 with one stop in Angoon. Angoon is another very small largely first nation village. A large supply of supplies were off loaded from the ferry. It was like Christmas in June for the people there.
It was a great day for the ride, partly cloudy and dry! This boat however has limited outside deck, only the back. Still manage to get some shots including the rainbow out the window.
Our first day was spent touring the Mendenhall Glacier National Park. Dave remarked on how much it had receded in the last four years.
The rest of the pictures are here.
