The stairs on the trail to Mendanhall Glacier and at the library in Juneau.

June 25 and 26
Two days for exploring Juneau and the Mendenhall Glacier. First day we take the public bus to Juneau (about a 30 minute drive), check out the downtown (cruise ships galore), update the blog at the library and then head back. Day two, we get on our bikes and ride about 5 miles to Mendenhall Glacier, then do a 3.5 mile ride on one of the trails in which we should have not brought the bikes, then back to the boat. The weather today is soooo beautiful. There is not a cloud in the sky and the temperature is 27 degrees inside the boat and easily 24 outside. Charles is very happy now that it has warmed up.

Tomorrow we will be leaving and heading west towards Chichagof and Baranof Island. We’ll go through a narrow passage between the two called Peril Strait and then on to Sitka. We'll be back on line in Sitka.

Kathy, if those stairs are on the trail where you took your bikes I can see why you shouldn't have. Puff! Puff!

Phil came by this morning for a visit and to check his e-mail. I had him move a few flower pots around. Prim and her friend were here at the same time for coffee and a short visit.
Til next time.
Love,
mom

Sometimes, no matter how much you love life on the water, you just have to touch land and hang out on solid ground for awhile. Relaxing at the library -- I hadn't really thought about that as an option on a sailing adventure, but sure -- what else are public libraries for?
