Siginaka Islands Kayak - May 20, 2022

Our good luck with weather continued for this kayak excursion to the Siginaka Islands north of Sitka. Kay was challenged by being in the bow position. But other than that we had a great first paddle of the season

The dock and cabin pictured was where we were ferried too begin our paddle



It was Kay and my kind of water


Finding a Sea Star did my heart good.

Moose Meadow, Chilkat Inlet Alaska - May 18, 2022

 This was a pleasant 5.5 mile round trip hike to a broad meadow along Chilkat Inlet a short distance from Haines. About ten of us chose this excursion from the Viking Orion. It was great to get out moving on a trail.







A delightful Lunch spot



Noah, Our guide and bus driver. Definitely a mellow fellow.

Abundant skunk cabbage reminded Kay and I of Home.
