July 3 -
Juneau
Today will be a busy day. Up early head out to Juneau hoping to arrive
about 10am. Robert and Debbie Schroeder
are joining our crew today. They
actually arrived in Juneau late last night and stayed in a hotel. We'll do a Costco run in Juneau and some
tourist stuff. The fireworks show
starts at 12:01 am on July 4th so we'll be up late.
All 5 boats (19 people) had
dinner on Magic tonight. Maryann made a
mean spaghetti. She cooked all day
while the rest of us went to Costco etc... to restock. Having 5 boats to restock meant a lot of
people in cabs ..... not a good idea, so we all chipped in and rented a car for
the day. Glen and Tom were the
'official' drivers and took groups up to Costco, Fred Meyer, and the bottle
store, etc... We had the car for 24 hrs
so this worked out great.
Oh almost forgot --- TOBA, another RHYC boat is docked in the
harbor; the boat directly in front of us to be exact. But it appears that the Wilson's have gone
away for a few days. I hope to remember
to leave them a note before we pull out of town.
Pulled into Juneau at 3pm and
stayed at the IVF (intermediate vessel float) right near the cruise ships. Great slip assignment for the fireworks show
that started at 00:01am on July 4th and lasted about 25 minutes. One of the best shows we've seen.
The group rented a car so
everyone took turns going up to Costco and Fred Meyer to re-provision, in
quantity.
July 4 - Juneau
Went into town today to watch
the parade and then walk around. Also
out to lunch. The streets were also full of cruise ship visitors so it was quite lively. In the afternoon Glen
took a group over to Douglas Island to check out the 4th festivities over
there. Maryann stayed back to get some
reading etc... done and pack up. She
left us this evening and went to a hotel for the night. We leave early in the morning and she flys
out in the afternoon. Staying in the
hotel will allow her to sleep in and be close to the airport tomorrow. I also stayed back to try to get some ski
patrol work done. Not having internet
and cell service has been a huge pain.
Not only for not being able to get the work done that I want to get done
but also because it has meant that I have not been able to do much blog
posting. I'm writing and taking photos
but posting has been an almost nonexistent process.
