I We have always considered our kids fortunate in the classmates that they had and the friends that they chose. We enjoyed the company of two of Alan’s classmates and friends as we began our Alaska adventure. Keith went with us to Bellingham so that he could drive our car home. We met another classmate, Ike, in Bellingham at the Boundary Bay Brewery for lunch and a brew. To pass the time before the ferry departure, we went to Ike’s house to admire his garden and his new shed.
They took us to the ferry terminal—ferry is large with 8 decks. We departed in sun with great views. We watched the sun set and enjoyed the orange and pink sky for a long time. Not long before they closed the curtains for the evening, we passed Vancouver. We have an Inside Passage map with us and follow the progress helped by the GPS screen by the pursers office and a map upstairs that they periodically move a piece of yellow tape to show where we are. I think those islands should have signs that say what they are as it isn’t easy from the water!
The rooms are tiny, but if you use them just for sleeping they are okay. People are from all over; London, Alabama, California to name a few. This morning it is foggy and just when it looked like it would burn off, it has gotten real socked in. We are about to clear Vancouver Island and do an open water crossing. They keep saying that it could get rough—will see.
There is no wifi on the ferry so will post this when I am able.
