Charters Day 1:
Juneau, Alaska's capital, is the largest and most cosmopolitan
city in Southeast Alaska (population of 29,000). There
are many gift shops, tours to Mendenhall Glacier, see
the city, visit the Red Dog Saloon.
Day
2:
Tracy Arm has the North and South Sawyer glaciers at its
head, 26 miles from our anchorage in an unnamed bay. Both
of these are calving glaciers. We will wind our way (carefully)
through the ice flows and icebergs scooping up glacier
ice for the ice chest. The scenery is beautiful with steep
rocky walls and waterfalls on both sides of the arm.
Day 3:
Cannery Cove, located on the east side of Admiralty Island,
was the site of a cannery in the 1920s. It is a beautiful
setting where we will crab and watch for bear feeding
along the shore at low tide.
Day 4:
Snug Cove, located in Gambier Bay, is another favorite.
It is well protected from winds and is perfect for kayaking
as well as bear watching. Gambier Bay has many small coves
among the islets and reefs and is worth exploring.
Day 5:
Baranof Warm Springs is a must. It has a huge, beautiful
100-foot waterfall and natural hot springs. We will take
the boardwalk and trail to the lake and sit in the hot
springs next to the falls. There is a 250-foot public
float where we can tie.
Day
6:
Red Bluff Bay has probably the most spectacular combination
of mountains, waterfalls and ice fields. We will anchor
near a drying mud flat, known as Bear Meadow.
Day 7:
Bay Bear Bay is one of the most sheltered anchorages around.
Once inside through the narrow entrance, it seems totally
landlocked. This is also a really protected bay where
we can kayak.
Day 8:
Sitka, the oldest and, what most people consider to be
the most beautiful city in Southeast Alaska. See the city
and visit the National Historic Park, which is the site
of a Tlingit Indian Fort and had a large collection of
Haida and Tlinget totem poles.
