21 June 2026 Sunday - Juneau Alaska, Happy Solstice!
Met my cousin and his wife and her daughter with husband at the dock of their cruise ship and we boarded the bus to take to our boat at Adlersheim, about one hour out the road (with stop to view glacier from Brotherhood Bridge). Only 35 of us on 49 passenger boat Pharos with first stop to view the sea lions on Benjamin Island then to Sentinel Island where we disembarked to walk up the ramp to the lighthouse. I first visited this lighthouse about 30 years ago when the local historical society took on the task to renovate and there was only a falling apart dock and a climb up some rocks, so different today. And then back out to sea where we saw heaps of humpback whales, what fun. And even better, it was a warm sunny day, so unusual here in Southeast Alaska. And then a bit of a driveabout of Juneau before returning to the ship for their journey to Skagway, Hoonah, Vancouver.

Gorgeous sunny day for lunch with friends at the Rookery then downtown walkabout.
