Another view of Mendenhall Glacier as we leave Juneau
July 13th
Leaving Juneau
David took the rental car back first thing in the morning.
When he returned to the boat, he realized that he still had the keys in his
pocket. He had a developed a good rapport with the taxi driver who drove him back to the boat so gave him a
call and asked him to pick up the keys at the Harbor Office and deliver the
keys to the airport which he did.
We filled our water tank last night but David forgot to shut
off the valve to the hose and the tank was drained overnight. We had to spend
time this morning refilling. We didn’t hear the water running probably because
of the generator noise. Keys,
water….hmm, this IS Friday the 13th!!
On our way to Swanson Bay we sighted a whale and he flipped
his tail at us. What a thrill for Ada!
Ashley has been on the boat twice before and each time, we
caught no crab. We were determined to get some for her especially since she got
special permission from her OBGYN to have a taste of fresh crab. We dropped our
pots over the side of the boat and pulled up a star fish in one and four crabs
in the other with one escaping when pulling it up.
Several boats joined us at the dock. One had two girls a bit
older than Ada and another had three big golden retrievers. Ada developed an
affinity for the young injured dog who stretched out in front of her while she
petted and talked to him. Ada came in and got the bag of chocolate chip cookies
Pop-Pop had baked earlier and shared them with her new dock friends.
Big Brother stained our window frames
Mommy needed some "Me Time"
Ada and her furry friend
Butch and David enjoyed rousing games of cribbage before
calling it a night.
