Ferry from Sitka to Juneau 06/20/2009

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

The Ferry from Sitka to Juneau made stops at Angoon, Tenekee Springs and Hoonah. We left Sitka about 2 PM and arrived in Juneau at 6:30 AM. We go to Angoon at 7 pm, Tenekee Springs at 10:30 PM and Hoonah at 3:30 am.

Fred and Kim got off at Tenekee Springs. There are no cars there. Many of the homes are on stilts. The homes are close together along the “roadway” on both sides of the ferry dock. We saw a main store, post office and an “open” library. The library had no doors on it. We understand that there are really nice homes further up the roadway. Many second homes are Juneau people who come here for the fishing and to get away. It was a very quaint place with “street lighting” lining the coast.

Fred had to back onto the Ferry and had to reposition the rig at Angoon.

We brought our “bedding” up to the observation lounge so that we could sleep.
