A Pause in Juneau

The view from the mast top.  Unfortunately the weather was rarely sunny like this !

We arrived into Juneau for a bit of a pause while Liz flew south to Vancouver Island for a reunion with some classmates from Queens University and to try to sort out our marina debacle.  The kids and I focused on homeschooling and catching up with boat maintenance.  The University of Alaska was an easy walk from the boat and they were very welcoming to the kids using the library to work on school.  Towards the end of our time in Juneau my parents flew up for a visit which nicely coincided with Victoria's sixteenth birthday.

On the sunny day it seemed like a nice place.

You will notice the wind indicator is rather at an odd angle.  Damn eagles. I could have fixed the mount but the rain accumulated inside the unit flooding the PCB.  I valiantly tried to fix but to no avail.

Granny and Grandpa visit.  Lego on the dock.

Birthday dinner for Victoria's 16th birthday.  By late Sept it was hard to actually find a restaurant open as downtown Juneau was a ghost town.

Auke Harbor was not an ideal place to stay but the other liveboards were great.  Here Rick - a man of many talents: plays in an orchestra, an amateur radio operator, and an artist with metalwork and more - gives Victoria an ulu knife he made.
