Heading to Glacier Bay

The guys had a very good time in Juneau. Through various contacts, they enjoyed socializing with several people, including a friend of Troy friends and a new friend they met in Thorne Bay who even invited them home for dinner!

Late Monday afternoon, June 28, they left Juneau to head towards Gustavus, the entrance to Glacier Bay. After an evening of great sunshine and beautiful views, they anchored in Admiralty Cove.

The next day they traveled to Couverden Island Cove, where they anchored overnight while awaiting word of admission to Glacier Bay. Permits are limited and hard to get. They finally succeeded in getting a pass from July 2-8. The plan now is to stay put tonight and travel tomorrow (July 1) to Pleasant Island Cove on the northeast side of Pleasant Island, just south of Gustavus. They will then be well positioned to enter Glacier Bay on July 2.

Future Schedule: On July 5 Alex’s son Kai and his sitter will fly to Gustavus. And right after their arrival David will get on that same plane and begin his travel home to Troy. Kai and Ruby will remain with Alex and the boat, and after some additional time in Glacier Bay, they will cruise with Alex back to Juneau for their flight home to Seattle on July 10. Alex and Wayward Sun will hang out in the Juneau area until the boat gets on the ferry to Bellingham on July 18 and Alex flies home.
