Last Trip of the Season !

We are leaving tomorrow on our last trip of the season. Leaving early as we need to arrive in Haines, Alaska, for the 9:00 AM sailing of the M/V Malaspina to Juneau, on Wednesday. We will overnight in Juneau, and depart for Sitka the next morning early, again traveling on the Alaska Marine Highway. Haines, Juneau and Sitka are located on the southeastern peninsula of Alaska. To get to Haines, will will leave Alaska and travel a short distance through the Yukon Territory of Canada. Southeastern Alaska contains some of the most beautiful panoramas found within the Alaskan Palette. Sitka rates fifth in the large city category, with only ten thousand inhabitants. Juneau, our Capital, is in third place with approximately thirty thousand people (assuming the Legislature is in session). Haines has less than two thousand year around residents, but still high on the list. We will conclude our two week vacation with a stop in Valdez before continuing home. Have a boat rental arranged and hope to get a few gigantic "Silvers" for the freezer!!
