SITKA

Fast ferry off to Sitka for a day.... we hung out in Sitka for 5.. maybe 10 mins... got back on and rode back to Juneau. Very relaxing day... slept, read a book, slept, read, slept.... I loved it! Beautiful trip!... I think Jack looked up from his computer once? Mom/Dad read and hung out, we chatted....

Whale Tail

What is an alaska trip without a whale tail? NOT happening! Off we went to watch whales, they did not disappoint. Many whales, few fin flappers, one long distance breach.... no bubble feeding ... but all in all.. AWESOME!

GOT CRABS!!

Great feed!! Think we caught 8 crabs.... let 2 go after deciding that was abit GREEDY. Here is the start of our week long seafood feast while Mom/Dad were back in AK.
