Tiffani and Deke’s flight (referred to locally as “The Jet”) arrived in Gustavus on time and they were at the city dock via TLC Taxi in no time! We took off for Flynn Cove, across Icy Strait, to meet up with Sam on Safe Harbour. In the first hour of Alaska…

The weather was supposed to pick up in Icy Strait on Friday afternoon and continue through Saturday, and since we needed to be in Gustavus to pick up Tiffani and Deke on Saturday, we figured it’d be a good idea to be nearer than Hoonah, so we left on Friday…

Our steam train returned to Skagway on Monday around noon, and we headed for Haines (again) because Haines is great! But at the last minute we decided to stop and anchor in Taiyasanka Harbor. We still want to go back to Haines, but thought we should try a new place. Taiyasanka Harbor was pretty…

We left Airship in the marina this morning and headed for the train station. I called yesterday to make a reservation for the 8:15am ride up to the White Pass summit, but the ticket seller talked me into the steam train excursion that went a bit further out to Fraser…

Kevin returned from Boston yesterday late afternoon and we just chilled on Airship for the evening at the dock in Juneau. I made us some dinner (chicken breast with truffled risotto and roasted brussels sprouts). This morning we still hadn’t decided if we wanted to leave Juneau today or wait…

We spent the past five days with our friends Todd & Loek, visiting from Holland. They flew into Juneau and we took them down to Taku Harbor, Tracy Arm Cove, down Endicott Arm to see Dawes Glacier, and then spent two nights in Ford’s Terror before returning to Juneau on Saturday.…

Fireworks started at 11:59pm last night in Juneau. We took blankets up to the top deck of Airship and watched from our spot here on the dock. Not bad, Juneau. Not bad. We’re skipping the parade today (I know, party poopers) so we can get the boat all clean and nice…

Not long after my earlier post about how we were anchored off of Skull Island, fishing for halibut, we caught our first halibut! Kevin got it nicely up to the boat and I had the harpoon at the ready. When the halibut was perfectly positioned, I aimed for just behind…
