About Us

My photo
We are friends who share a love of boating~~Doug, Margie, Ginnie, Torben & Chester (our 5 year old Havanese, pictured in Ginnie's lap) on Main Attraction, a 56 foot Navigator, and Margi & Doug on Bowhaus, a 36 foot Grand Banks. From mid-May through mid-August 2016, we are embarking on the longest cruise of our life times. This is the summer of our Grand Alaskan Adventure. We've been planning for months and now we are ready!

Petersburg to Juneau via Snug Cove and Taku Harbor


Leaving Petersburg, these guys were making quite a fuss


Our Anchorage in Snug Cove was beautiful but it did rain a lot
The next AM, it was calm and dreary with periods of rain.
The rain and poor visibility continued for several hours as we cruised to Taku Harbor.


   Taku Harbor was the site of an old cannery.  
Here you see remnants of the old docks giving way to plant life 



We awoke Wednesday to a beautiful morning in Taku Harbor 
Main Attraction and Bowhaus were tied to the public float with no power or water but nice access to the shore


Doug is busy with his morning cleaning ritual before heading out

Next stop:  Juneau-- our northernmost destination. 
Bowhaus is pictured below ahead of Main Attraction approaching the Gastineau Channel with Juneau in the far distance. 


 Cruise ships, tugs with tows and fishing boats make the Gastineau Channel a bit challenging for pleasure boats
 Juneau is simply beautiful.  
We arrived yesterday on a Chamber of Commerce kind of day.
