sy Timoneer

We had another memorable cruise around South East Alaska with guests on board from 31st August through to 11th September, starting in Juneau and up to the Glacier Bay area. We again saw the bears feeding on the whale carcass, lots of glaciers, sea otters and other wildlife including a pack of wolves. In Chatham Strait we again saw the whales bubble netting and also a large group of Orcas.

This trip we visited a few small Alaskan towns along the way – Pelican, Elfin Cove and Tanekee Springs, all of which were fascinating and we enjoyed walking ashore, which you don’t get to do too often up here unless you go hiking through bear country. Each town is very different, with virtually no roads and the only access is by boat or seaplane.

Our theory about good weather in September proved itself again and we had some remarkable days with lots of sunshine, fantastic views and good cruising. We worked hard at catching salmon, crabs, shrimp and halibut and although we often got “skunked” we did not go hungry by any means!

All in all another successful trip and a fitting end to our stay in Alaska.

Timoneer will be heading south on 16th September and will stop at Vancouver before the hop down to San Francisco for maintenance work in October.
All are well on board and sad to leave the wonderful place.

There were so many amazing photos taken by the crew and guests it was hard to choose a selection but here are just a few.
