Today, we’re going through stuff. Our house sold in early summer and fortunately the buyers wanted most of the contents, all except personal things. We’re sorting into three piles: necessities, memorabilia and garage sale. Not surprisingly, the only “necessities” remaining from a fully furnished home all fit neatly in one box and a hang up bag each. No regrets, that’s just the way it is. The reality of a plan we put into motion three and half years ago is now taking its true, although somew…

#53 Baranof Island
I had reset the mileage counter in Victoria, British Columbia which seemed like ages ago. Glancing up, it read 1,234 nautical miles. It’s been just the two of us since Campbell River.

Eliana Cruises Glacier Bay
Eliana arrived in Glacier Bay! “Visiting in one’s own boat isn’t without a couple of hurdles. The incredible distance to get there aside, entering the park is by permit only. The total number of private boats allowed in the bay is limited to 25. Only two cruise ships are permitted to be in the park on a given day so you might see one of them.”
