Windy and wet conditions are coming in late tonight and will last a few days. So we decided to head on home rather than stay out in the wind and rain. We don't really want to try and get back into the marina when it's blowing 20-30 knots, especially since we no longer have the upper helm due to the hydraulic hose that ruptured up in Glacier Bay. Plus, it's not much fun being stuck in the boat when it's raining sideways.<br />
<br />
We left Cabbage Island early in the morning, crossed the border into the US and submitted our border crossing information to US Customs and Border Security via their "ROAM" mobile app. They tried to initiate a video conference with Steve, but the software in the Friday Harbor customs office did not get updated properly last night and the video conference failed. They then called Steve to confirm some details of our information, and were granted clearance into the US within a few minutes. No need to divert to Friday Harbor to clear customs, which saved us many hours on our trip home. We plotted a course towards home and made a few stop along the way to check out some possible future outings. We were killing time so we could transit the Swinomish Channel with a favorable current. We timed it right and got a 1.5-2.0 knot push all the way down the channel to our marina. When it was all said and done, we arrived home (up to) several days early due to weather.................................<br />
<br />
It was a GREAT summer!!!!!!<br />

It is one of several passes you can use to get out into the Straight of Georgia from the Gulf Islands. Porlier Pass is just 3 miles from Clam Bay, and slack is at 7:06 am, perfect for an early morning transit. The other passes would require us to get up much earlier so we could transit at slack. Our destination is Cabbage Island, which is out in the Strait of Georgia. It is exposed to winds so it's only good during settled weather. Forecast is for light winds today and tomorrow, and this marine park has been a favorite of ours. We would not want to be here when a storm rolls in. We arrived at 10:30 am and got secured to a mooring buoy that was at the end of the row of buoys, and had a nice big gap to the next boat.<br />
<br />
First activity for the day was a kayak paddle.<br />

We headed back to Adagio and after lunch put the kayaks back up top and lowered the big dinghy. We wanted to do a hike before dinner. The start of the trail is on a rocky portion of shoreline and there is no place to haul out 4 kayaks. The big dinghy is perfect for getting to the trail.<br />

We were one of dozens of boats going through around slack time both north and southbound. The currents run up to 11 knots in this area so transiting around slack is necessary to get to the northern gulf islands. Your other choice is to go out and run the straight of Georgia and with the forecast of SE 15 knot winds, we needed to run the inside route.<br />

As we were were approaching Clam Bay, the winds were getting stronger, towards 15-20 knots and the ride a little bumpy so the bay came by at the right time. We anchored and had plans to ride it out thinking that it would not subside until morning. We were pleased that by 5pm the winds calmed down and we could go out on a dinghy ride.<br />

After heading out and listening to the latest weather forecast on the VHF radio, the weather was due to be calm today with winds picking up the following day. The forecast had changed and therefore so did our plans. We decided to make the entire trip to Nanaimo in one day, since the trip to Nanaimo involves crossing the Strait of Georgia, which can be a terrible ordeal if the winds kick up. It was a long day but we had nice nice smooth seas for the entire trip. We arrived aroud 5:00PM.<br />
<br />
After anchoring just at the edge of the anchor zone (marked by buoys) by the Newcastle Island Park, we dinghied to the Dinghy Dock Pub for dinner and then dinghied over to Newcastle Island for walk in the park. The entire island of Newcastle is a beautiful park!<br />

In the morning the Port Authority boat came around and told several other boats to move. Many boats had anchored outside the anchoring zone. We were tempted to do this yesterday as well, since at least half a dozen large boats had already done so. But, we managed to get inside the zone, even though the anchorage was very crowded.<br />

We left Pendrell Sound along with many of other boats. It was a boat parade leaving. A few of the boats may have been tucked away in a small cove out of the wind, but we imagine most had the night winds we experienced. We are tired! Once entering Prideaux Haven, the most popular spot in Desolation Sound, we were surprised at how many boats were inside. After Alaska and northern BC, where were almost always the only boat in a bay, it is a shock to enter a small bay and see 30+ boats anchored close together. We ended up going into Melanie Cove (a side cove off Prideaux Haven) just as a sailboat was leaving so we anchored in his vacated spot the middle and did not worry about a stern tie. Well, we did worry but other boats were able to come in and find a spot for themselves. We considered moving to a stern tie, but there is room for a few boats to anchor in the middle without a stern tie. </div>

That set us up for transit through three rapids today that will lead us to Desolation Sound. Timing is everything here at Dent, Yuculta, and Gabriola Passage as these rapids are faster than we motor. We really only make 7-8 knots and many boats and people have had been lost here as the currents can run upwards of 12-13 knots, with serious whirlpools that have swallowed both boats and people. We timed our arrival for slack water and were surrounded by many other boats doing the same. We transited the three rapids in a flotilla of boats heading in our direction.<br />
<br />
We arrived Pendrell Sound to 76 degree water but with many boats. We saw so few boats north that now this feels crowded to us. We have not been here for many years and it appears that there was a forest fire several years ago, that was a shock to us. We have been here at least a dozen times before and never had water this warm. It is in the swimming pool temperature range now. 76 degrees!<br />
<br />
After trying to decide where to go, we decided on a sort of secluded spot near the oyster farm area. There was no activity at the oyster farm and the depth was not ideal (a bit deep). The only way to anchor here, due to the steep shoreline, is to drop the anchor in deep water, back the boat towards shore, and then take a line to the shore. This secure your boat with it's stern facing shore. On our first attempt we backed up and the anchor just dragged. so we pulled it up to start over. When Kathy took her foot off the deck switch the anchor kept coming up. The switch had broken. Steve ran quickly to the engine room to kill power to the anchor windlass. Fortunately he made it before the anchor reached the boat. We then spent the next 15 minutes floating in front of our anchor spot while Steve replaced the deck switch. We have spares for just about everything! On the second attempt, we anchored in over 80 feet of water and backed up to about 35 feet deep and did a stern tie. Success. It is nice having children that can be crew now and not too young as the last time we were here, over 7 years ago with them. We spent the afternoon and the entire next day here playing in the warm water. It was a nice break from all the motoring south.<br />

This sound has been awesome for us but our second night here proved to be a sleepless one. In our entire summer we have had nice calm nights. The wind here our second night would be calm at 5-8 knots and then gust to over 20 knots, sometimes 25-26 knots. This puts a lot of strain on the shore tie line. These winds went on throughout the night until 6am or so. We slept a bit late which was fine since we are planning to move to Prideaux Haven, only a few miles away.<br />

We have not been running before light yet this summer so this is the first time we have had to use our spot lights. In addition, Kathy stood on the bow for the first half hour to shine a handheld spotlight on any logs in our way. This was in the inlet so, yes, there were logs to avoid. Another long day, but easy motoring. These larger bodies of water are concerns for crossing, and we are taking advantage of calm winds when they are in our favor.<br />
<br />
Of the dozens, or hundreds, of whales we have seen, we typically watch but many times do not slow down. When we were close to Port Hardy we stopped to watch 3-4 whales feeding for about a half hour, since they were so close to us. Special!<br />

We got to Port Hardy at around 5pm and the the marina did not have room for us. We anchored off of the public dock, instead of going to the public dock where many people were fishing. We called a few restaurants and they were closed for the day, so we did not go to shore or anything, no pictures and not what we could say was a special spot!<br />
<br />
The next morning we decided to head to Port McNeill and try to get in a marina there to do one more load of laundry, eat out, get a little diesel for safety's sake, and get some land time. What a cute town and the port harbor was very nice.<br />

We made it to Shearwater a bit late but with enough time to anchor out and pick up a few groceries. This is really just a marina and resort, not a town. There are a lot of fishing resorts here.<br />

The next morning, it was another calm day motoring south down Fitz Hugh Sound. We again saw several dozen whales. In fact, one came up in front of us and we had to stop our engines as it appeared we were going to run over it.<br />

Steve and Kathy has spent some time in Fish Egg Inlet about 15 years ago and were excited to spend some time in there again. Coming in this time in our much larger boat, most of the anchorages seemed really small for us. After looking at a few anchorages we ended up heading back toward the entrance to Green Island. A pretty spot and once again, we were by ourselves. It was plenty big enough for us. We are seeing more vessels heading south now along these straights and reaches.<br />

In normal circumstances I think we would not motoro this long each day but we have to be home to make it for kids and work, and we were delayed in Ketchikan waiting for the the windlass motor to be repaired. We are happy to report that the windlass has never worked this well. It's great!<br />

Our transit from Foggy Bay AK to Prince Rupert BC was
uneventful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have had very calm seas

</span>The transit from the north through these islands were outstanding and we

the Cow Bay Marina upon approach and they mentioned that the inside of the
breakwater between two sailboats would be fine for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have not been used to paying such
exorbitant fees for overnights but were happy to be able to get some groceries
and stretch our legs in town.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is

It has been a rushed, but amazing trip. Our transit today from Meyers Chuck took us past Ketchikan. We thought we might get fuel and even stay the night. What a crazy passage and busy place so we decided we could make it in a long day to Foggy Bay. The fuel dock had no room and there was a 100' commercial fishing boat waiting "in line" for his turn. So, we opted to skip getting fuel here. We have just about enough fuel to get home, but that would be cutting it very close. We will take on some more diesel in Canada somewhere.<br />

On our transit and past Ketchikan, we experienced some fog. We had heard in the weather forecast that there would be in the morning but it never burned off. As we entered Foggy Bay, the fog stayed outside and it was nice and clear inside. Foggy Bay was not foggy, but we could see the fog just a mile outside the bay.<br />

We got up 4 or 5 times during the night hoping for another northern lights experience but did not they never appeared. We play games in the evenings and watch a show or movie. We are watching the TV show LOST from the beginning, which is keeping us entertained.<br />

It has been interesting to observe the whale sightings dwindle to almost none as we move south. Coming out of Glacier Bay and heading south for several days we saw humpbacks continuously. Some days we saw many dozen spouts, fins, and tails. At least 50 in a day. Now we are lucky to see a single whale in an entire day. What a difference. We got to the point of not yelling out "whale at 1 O'Clock" etc. as they were always all around us.Adagiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00515060954867512232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191005900481787088.post-80083247518757009732019-08-06T12:30:00.000-07:002019-08-06T12:30:05.714-07:00August 4, 2019 - Meyers Chuck AKSteve and Kevin with Alex and Paulo had visited this small community on the way north and really wanted to stop here again on the southbound trip. It did not disappoint. We had gotten up early and made it there by noon, with a favorable 2 knot current most of the way. Warm and sunny weather again. Steve got us onto the dock quickly and smoothly and we relaxed for a bit and then decided on a big dinghy ride first, a hike, then kayaking in the afternoon when the tide is higher.<br />

It is Sunday when we pulled up to this dock at the post office. A woman yells out from her house window if she can help. We just mentioned seeing the post office and although not open she offers to come down and open it, let us buy a couple postcards, write and send them. We had a nice conversation with her.<br />

We had a nice chat with several people on the dock. One man who's family brought him here in 1945 after the war where his Dad told him he did not want to be shot at anymore. Fishing was bad so they had moved across to Thorne Bay on Prince of Wales Island to work in logging. He met his now wife there and they are two of the year round residents there of the maybe 7 that are there total year round. We found out his wife is the post master we met and as well the woman who sells cinnamon rolls in the mornings to visitors on the dock. We bought 6 of them and they were yummy! One of the boats on the dock had two older gentleman from Haida Gwaii and they told us some stories as well. <br />
<br />
We saw before leaving Petersburg that the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) could be out the next few nights. We have been trying to get up around 1am most nightS looking to see if they were out. Tonight they were there. We got the kids up and spent more than an hour watching them. They were stunning.<br />

We decided on staying a bit longer, waiting for sunshine in a day and then heading out to LeConte glacier only a 10 miles away from Petersburg. Kevin and Steve had seen this prior to Cindy and Kathy, so this gave the girls a chance to see it, and the guys said it was one of the more spectacular of all the glaciers seen. LeConte is the southernmost glacier in the northern hemisphere that calves into the sea. <br />

LeConte Glacier did not disappoint. Just before entering the channel for the glacier, we got the call on the windlass (it will ship out of Bellingham this afternoon!), planned how to get it back, and then headed in there for several hours. Once as close as we could get the big boat, we put down kayaks, and the kids and Kathy set out to explore.<br />

So many people bring home fresh caught fish from Alaska. We have not been doing any fishing really since we can't even call ourselves beginners at this point. Anyway, we are bringing home some glacier ice in our freezer. Talk about long lasting ice cube, this stuff is amazing and lasts a very long time.<br />

This seemed the best plan. Steve pulled the electric motor off the windlass and tested it and it is definitely running very slowly. He called Whatcom Electric and they will make the motor repair their top priority when it arrives. It appears there is no electric motor facility in Petersburg. We will ship the motor from Petersburg and then maybe have it shipped to Ketchikan as we could motor south to Ketchikan using docks or marinas. We would not want to go to Canada because international shipping and customs would complicate and slow down the process, so Ketchikan would be as far south as we could go.<br />
<br />
<u>Motor update</u>: We sent the motor USPS 2 day (no other option) on July 31. Whatcom Electric got it the next day, figured out the problem, ordered parts one day, next morning put it back together and tested, third day sent back to us and 4th day in the morning we are getting it back via Alaska Airlines. Not sure what the invoice will be but we can't really continue too far without anchoring so it is a necessity. We would not be able to return home without having a working anchor windlass. The electric motor is not something you can go into a store and buy off the shelf. The really sad part is that Steve had this motor rebuilt one year ago in an attempt to avoid this very situation.<br />
<br />
We had time to explore Petersburg so went for some walks, did some tourist shopping, went to the museum and kids to the library (internet access!). This is a busy place with all of the fishing vessels coming and going.<br />

While here Steve did some routine maintenance.

Steve had heard that this was beautiful. We left from Warm Springs late since we went to the hot springs in the morning. It was a late afternoon arrival at Pybus so we did not do much except take in the view, fly the drone, and eat dinner. Getting to Pybus Bay was a bit of a bumpy ride in Chatham straight. The mountains were in view here as well as some neighboring boats!<br />

We woke in the morning with low cloud cover and some rain and could not see the mountains. Glad we arrived yesterday. We are heading south again. We made a short stop at Kake on Kupreanov Island to get some groceries and then continued, deciding on Goose bay (might not be a formal name). Our plan is to run Rocky Pass tomorrow which requires careful navigating and timing of currents. We spent time figuring out the correct time to transit so the currents would relatively calm, and the tides high. A very late morning departure would be required tomorrow morning. <br />
<br />
Over the past couple days we had heard a couple big knocks/clunks while retrieving the anchor but nothing seemed to be effected and we could not identify the source of the noise. This afternoon when dropping the anchor in Goose Bay the anchor went down very slowly. perhaps 1/4 speed. UH OH! Good thing we were in 25 feet of water and not 60 or 70 feet, because it was obvious something was wrong with our anchor windlass. If it fails we are going to have to pull the anchor and chain by hand, not a pleasant prospect. Steve looked at quite a few things and decided it was the windlass motor, no more anchoring. The problem was not in the cabling delivering electricity to the motor. It was not in the gearbox of the windlass as it spins freely and all the gears and shafts look perfect. The oil in the gearbox had no water in it, nor did it have and metal bits contaminating it. Everything was pointing to the electric motor itself. The electric motor cannot be repaired while on the boat. We still have to pull our anchor in the morning and were devising plans to pull it manually in case the windlass motor failed completely. The immediate question for us now is "can we get our anchor up in the morning?" There is no manual override (cranking it up with a long lever) on our windlass, which some windlass's have. We hand hoisted up the chain until the anchor sat on the bottom at 6:30 AM, low tide, with only 15 feet under us now. Our plan was to do as much manual lifting as we could since we did not know if the windlass would last long enough to do the entire job. We were saving the windlass for the heavy part, pulling the anchor off the bottom. We were in luck because the windlass did indeed bring the anchor back up slowly, and completely. Good thing as once we got to having to hoist the anchor off the bottom manually we were not making any headway.<br />

Since we are not sure we can anchor until this problem is fixed, we cannot go through Rocky Pass tomorrow as that requires an overnight anchoring at the other end. So, change of plans. We are going to double back and head to Petersburg (where we can stay in the marina), about 8 hours away and see if there is an electric motor repair shop there. If not, the motor will have to be shipped back to Steve's favorite electric motor repair shop in Bellingham: Whatcom Electric.Adagiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00515060954867512232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191005900481787088.post-81507142714409406012019-08-02T21:42:00.000-07:002019-08-03T12:31:20.735-07:00July 27, 2019 - Chichagof Island AK: Hoonah and Warm Springs BayWe left Glacier Bay and crossed Icy Straight and spent the afternoon/night in Hoonah, a small Tlingit town. We did a bit of grocery shopping and some laundry. We do have an apartment-size stacking washer-dryer onboard Adagio but when there are 4 people, it is easier to just do multiple loads in a laundromat or in the marina facilities.<br />

We made an early departure from Hoonah for a long day south to Warm Springs Bay. As it went from morning to afternoon, it got a little bumpy out there. We knew that the bay we were going to would be nice. There is a hot spring there that you can hike to, and they have piped the water down to a bathhouse as well. There is a nice boardwalk connecting all the cabins that people have here.<br />

We started motoring south with a plan to kayak around the Beardslee islands before heading to Fingers bay for the night. On our way south we had one last pass by South Marble Island where the puffins and sea lions live along with many other sea birds and wildlife. The sea lions are very loud !<br />

When we entered Glacier Bay, the ranger that gave us our orientation told us we might be able to extend our stay if we were interested in that. The procedure to do so is to call the Ranger on the VHF radio at 7:00AM 48 hours before the day you want to add. 48 hours at 7:00AM turned out to be when we were motoring towards the Beardslee Island group, and we were once again within VHF radio range. We asked for one additional day. They checked the schedules and determined we could add one extra day. Score!</div>

The normal anchorage in the Beardslee Islands was several miles away from the islands we wanted to kayak so we decided to shoot for a closer area with depths in the 40 foot range. We had a good hook on a rocky bottom and got the kayaks down and set off.</div>

We had not thought out our plan too well and the tide was low so we were not able to get into the island group at all really. So we watched humpbacks and looked at sea life. Quite a few humpbacks were eating near us and it is spectacular to watch.<br />

North Fingers Bay was nice and quiet, once again we were the only boat. We woke in the morning and were planning to leave when low and behold on the shore is a black bear around a rock chewing and rubbing on it at the shoreline. So we watched for a period of time and Steve went for a closer look in the kayak.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
We spent this day enjoying the east arm of Glacier Bay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most all of the commercial boats go up the
other arm so it was a quiet day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We left
early and let the kids sleep in since they would get to see everything on the
way back down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we went north the
weather was nice but it did change as we neared the very north end at Muir
Glacier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Rain set in, and the mountains became obscured by low clouds.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

On the way south from the arm, we decided to have Kathy stay
on Adagio and let Steve and the kids go in to see McBride Glacier by dinghy. You can no longer see McBride from Muir Inlet Channel and the waterway to the glacier it is too shallow for all but dinghies and kayaks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Kathy kept Adagio "parked" out front while the dinghy exploration was going on. </span>There were quite a few icebergs beached and
both Steve and Kathy remember how fun it was to walk around them. Steve camped here via kayak over 30 years ago. Back then the glacier was only a few hundred feet from the spit at the entrance. Steve vividly remembers camping here, listening to the glacier creaking, groaning, and exploding with calving all night long. That experience can no longer be duplicated, as the glacier is now miles away, and not even visible.</div>

Once anchored, again by ourselves with no other boats, we
got the kayaks down. There are 23 other
private vessels in Glacier Bay but we don’t seem to be seeing very many. We have been storing two kayaks in the dinghy
at the stern and two up on the boat deck so it has been easier and quick to get
going.<br />
<br />
We are happy to report that the steering repair was successful. We have full control of the rudder and there are no leaks. There is some air in the hydraulic lines so steering is not "linear", but it is fully functional. Once we have internet again, Steve will get the bleeding instructions for our particular combination of hydraulic helms and the ram.</div>

Once on the other side of "mussel beach" we heard humpback whales. We paddled around the corner and found 4 or 5 humpbacks spouting. They were not too far away. The kids arms were tired after paddling a few miles so they went to the beach to watch, while Kathy and Steve paddled out to get a closer look.<br />

hour. The other glacier up in the Tarr Inlet is Grand Pacific and it is so dirty, you can hardly tell it is a glacier.<o:p></o:p></div>

Next we motored back down Tarr Inlet. We had timed it right so that we were the only boat up there floating and enjoying the experience. We then turned and went to Johns Hopkins Inlet. Again, we were blessed to be able to experience this glacier without other onlookers. Johns Hopkins is one of the most active glaciers and here we had to keep moving to maintain our viewing spot. A current of water runs out of the bottom of this glacier and moves the boat away quickly..<br />

After some time Steve started the engines and realized that
there was <u>no steering of the boat</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
this point we were at on of the furthest points away in our trip, literally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were ready to turn around and head
south.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is as far away from home as
we intended to travel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The steering
worked for a turn or two and then suddenly the wheel had no resistance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rudder was now stuck at more than 20
degrees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Steve took a quick trip to the
flybridge and turned the wheel and got the rudder part way toward center before
it too stopped working.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Same with the
autopilot, a little closer to center, but then nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking at both helms revealed no hydraulic
leaks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Same at the rudder and ram; no
leaks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was still a little pressure
in the reservoir and the fluid level was good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hmmmm….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not a 5 minute fix for
sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were no other boats here to
help, but there is a 200’ cruise ship arriving in about 20 minutes, according to AIS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, what can they do to help anyway?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the rudder at about 4 degrees Steve
managed to run the boat back through the icebergs by revving one motor then the
other, and shifting one engine or the other into neutral.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was enough to get back to Reid Harbor and
set the anchor, a several hour trip.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Just before Reid Harbor was passed Lamplugh Glacier. It too had some spectacular blue tones, and part of it still touches the ocean. We saw a few small calvings here as well.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Steve
pulled out his bin of hoses and found a few hydraulic hoses, but unfortunately they
did not have the correct fittings, and none were long enough to replace the bad
hose. So, replacing the failed hose up here in Glacier Bay is not an
option. Steve pulled out several 5
gallon buckets full of bronze pipe fittings.
After rummaging through all the fittings for about 30 minutes Steve had
gathered just enough parts to cap off the lines leading to the flybridge
steering unit. This would effectively
plug the leak, but render the upper helm useless. No big deal to lose the flybridge steering as we almost never use the
upper helm. Steve removed the 3 rubber hoses that connect to the upper helm and installed "caps" on the hard lines that connect
to the lower helm. He had to refill the reservoir
which had dumped half a gallon of hydraulic fluid onto the flybridge floor,
under the helm. Then pump up the pressure
in the reservoir. After a few turns of
the pilothouse house wheel the</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;">rudder was once again moving. We will be able to continue our trip without any interruption. Phew, that was a close call, as a boat without steering is not much of a boat. It would have been a bit of a trip back to Juneau to get a new hose made, and a return visit to Juneau was not in our plans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;">It certainly pays to carry lots of spare parts when you go boating in remote locations. We had just enough parts onboard to fix this steering issue. I will be adding hydraulic "plugs" to my shopping list for the next major town we encounter. Replacing all of the rubber hydraulic hoses in the steering system is now at the top of my project list upon our return home. I will also have a few spare hoses fabricated so I can replace any failed hose in the future.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;">Even with a potentially major failure onboard, we still had a wonderful day. The glaciers were spectacular, as was the scenery. The steering failure didn't really impact our day much other than spending about 2 hours once anchored repairing the problem. The cleanup has been the worst part. Steering fluid (ATF, actually) has been dripping down the outside of the pilothouse for several days and has been a mess to clean up.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Cruising Southeast Alaska has been a dream/goal of ours for
a very long time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although this trip will
not occupy the entire summer (due to our kids school schedule), to be able to
do this trip with our kids before they go on to their lives in college and
beyond has been incredible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This and the
next several posts will be in Glacier Bay, our northern most point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Glacier Bay has memories for both Kathy and
Steve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kathy worked at the Glacier Bay
Lodge for a summer 33 years ago, and Steve came for a two week kayak-camping
trip 32 years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we first met
through work more than 5 years later, kayaking and Glacier Bay was mentioned on
our first meeting and presented a common bond for us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we were here all those years ago there were no cruise
ships or private boats in the bay, but even now there are only 24 private
vessels in the bay in a given day, 2 large cruise ships (800ft+) along with a
handful of smaller commercial tour vessels (100-200ft). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Entry into the park requires a permit, which
we obtained two months ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must
attend an hour long orientation/safety presentation before you are allowed to
enter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can stay a maximum of 7
days/6 nights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You cannot just drive
your boat into Glacier Bay and explore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Glacier Bay is part of the National Park system, and therefore drones
are prohibited by Federal law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No drone
pictures will be taken while we are in Glacier Bay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Glacier Bay National Park is very large, in
fact it is about the same size as the state of Connecticut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are more than 1000 glaciers within the
park (95% of them are retreating), but most of them are up high in the
mountains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just a handful reach the
ocean and are accessible by boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
tide range here can reach 25’, requiring diligent attention when anchoring and
transiting shallows.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After our boater orientation, we visited Glacier Bay Lodge
and bought a few trinkets then headed over to the dorms where all the employees lived (including Kathy for a summer). Not much has changed, not sure I, Kathy, would want to stay there now. Although an older lady working in the gift shop said that she only had one roommate, where I had three roommates in a room smaller than a normal dorm room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> She said they think the younger people can handle that, hahah. Not much has changed. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Cars, cruise ships and people abound. Makes us realize just how unconnected we really were. Juneau is a pretty city but overrun with cruise ships and tourists. The number of bald eagles here is amazing too.<br />

We have a day and a half here in which we plan to have some fun, chores, and provision. The girls went off right after docking into town to explore a bit while we settled things aboard.<br />
<br />
We took a taxi to Mendenhall Glacier. How could we be in Juneau and not go there. It was packed with people but still a beautiful sight. <br />

After our quick trip to the glacier, the girls went up the Mount Roberts Tramway for a hike at the top but the timing was off and it started pouring rain up there and visibility was poor. <br />
<br />
We had many trips to town for groceries and got our laundry done. Steve changed engine oil and filters, cleaned the sea strainers, and attended to some other routine maintenance. We are planning for another one to two weeks without a real town. We have a general idea of our way south in this area after Glacier Bay and it does not include a stop back to Juneau.<br />

Finally we say goodbye to Ayla and Bekka as they head back to Colorado. It's been fun having them onboard, we had lots of laughs, playing games, and adventures. It is now just our immediate family headed next to Glacier Bay for a week.
