Alaska Day 6 Click on the pics to enlarge!
This is a new port for us, Icy Strait Point. It is a tiny island about 3 hour sailing time from Juneau. This will be the only port were we will tender vs dock. Since we had no excursions, we took a leisurely breakfast and headed down to be transported over to land.
This first pic, is the towns new welcome area, very snazzy...the day started incredibly foggy, but it cleared by mid day.
This is a very interesting town. It appears that cruise lines came in and dumped a ton of money to spruce up the place. They have a terrific nature walk, a terrific waterfront walk, great excursions and the mother of all zip-lines. If Adam was with us, I would have had a partner to toss myself down that mountain, but alas, my traveling companions simply said... ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR %#@!* MIND?? Oh well.. we walked around, and went into the village center to have coffee. The bus driver was the husband to the ex-mayor and the father of the current mayor...weird?? not there, population 773.
Paul went comparison shopping at the local supermarket and was horrified at the prices. Roughly 2x what we pay at home.

I could call starting the color two stitches before I need them "ziplines" and then they would relate to this post. I understand the basic concept, but can't quite figure the details. Do you twist the yarn at the end and then twist it again on the next stitch before you twist one last time before using it on the live stitch? Will also need advice on how to finish; been uneasy about starting on the ends without knowing the best way to proceed. Do you tie knots and then weave ends? Other people have told me to do 10 ends a day to prevent leaving it all at the end.
I love the fact that people looking for info on the Alaska trip have no idea what we are talking about.
Those mayors and governors of Alaska (ex- or not) are all convicted (at least I'm convinced) felons and incestuously weird.
