Indian Cove Bed & Breakfast Auke Bay

At 9:00am February 13th. my Literature and the Environment class met up at the Rec center for an adventure that most of us were dreading.

However, after driving to the 38 mile marker and throwing on our packs, we slid down what seemed like a cliff and began our journey. The first section was nice, downhill, and on semi fresh snow which ...

I am currently enrolled in a Literature and the Environment class. In this class we learn all about environmental movements that started back in the 1700s through today, via reading. This weekend we are wrapping up Walden. In honor of the book we are hiking out to a remote cabin and staying the night. It should be very interesting as the cabin i...

We've been stuck in Auke Bay for a week now. It’s been Ok because we’ve been able to catch up on a lot of things like laundry, changing the engine oil and cleaning the outside of the boat, but now we are so ready to move on. We’ve taken the bus to Juneau so many times we are now advising other cruisers about which bus to catch ...

It was a beautiful, sunny morning, the winds and seas were calm. We left Auke Bay headed for the small village of Hoonah, about 5 hours away. Our new friends on Moonraker and Windfall were about ½ hour behind us, also heading for Hoonah. A couple of hours into our travels we noticed several whale watching boats and small ...

We bypassed Juneau and went instead to Auke Bay about 14 miles from Juneau. The harbor here is really nice and busy with fishing boats. They have an interesting procedure to assign spots. It's first come first served. You wander around until you find an open berth and grab it. After we found a spot and checked in with t...

When I got up this morning I could tell the ship had slowed. We were scheduled to be in Juneau post at 7:00, so I jumped out of bed to see them "park" the ship. Because the port in Juneau has only one way in or out for a ship this size, "parking" can be interesting. To get to the dock they made a very nice 180 degree turn right in place, all wit...

This morning it's up at 5:00 a.m. to see the glacier at Tracy Arm. Get out to deck 14 for the sight and there's fog and it's raining so I decide to go to the buffet to get breakfast. After eating I went to deck 7 for glacier watching. The captain came on and said because of the fog and ice, we're going to Endicott Arm instead of Tracy Arm. Here ...

This morning started almost the same as usual with the exception of noises that woke me up, the one day I can sleep in and I get woke up by stra...

First things first: Jason and me left the Breakwater Hotel after we got a call at 8:30 am saying "You know you guys have to be out by noon, right?" No, we guys didn't know it because no stupid idiot ever shared that important information with us. Anyway, we packed our things and we started making calls to other hotels checking prices. The choice...
