It’s been some time since the last post, due to not having internet at our new home yet, so this will be a bit long winded.
The final leg of our ferry trip was quite the adventure. From Juneau to Yakutat was fairly uneventful, mostly an over night trip. Leaving Juneau the fog around the hills was really a pretty sight. The real issues/problems started after leaving Yakutat heading to Whittier across the Gulf. The seas started to roll, and I mean roll, 12 to 18 FT seas were really making the ferry rock, bob and roll. I don't think the stabilizers were working correctly. We did fine the first evening, was just a bit hard to walk around the ship. The next day and night were the tough ones. Jan (my wife) and Maddie (her daughter) both got sea sick with Maddie blowing some chunks, both spending the day and night in bed. I did OK. I kept my eyes on the horizon so not to see/feel the rolling so much and also I kept eating so that my belly was full. While walking around the ferry during the day the weather was rainy, but I kept going out on deck for some fresh air. (Although, I did feel kind of crappy the day after we got to the house.) One time out on deck,I saw a water spout, the photo is below but its not that great due to the rolling of the ship.
Once we got out of the rain in Whittier the colors were great. As I said, we just got our internet service today and have been used to the area for shipping and such.
All in all, all is great here!
