In the summer of 2014, I took 5 kids and 7 adults to Alaska. Now I’m doing it again. Minus kids and a few of the adults.
I started a thread about places to see and anchorages to stay at, lots of discussion on that topic. Slight thread hijack by BandB but that’s ok....
I had 9 days to get there and most commented on how 9 days were not enough. Well. We did it in 8 and saw a fair amount ( the days were long). However the wives and kids want to fly in now and not take the trip. Sadly we only saw some grey whales once, all the way to Ketchikan. Once we dropped them off at the airport, then we saw a bunch not 20m later....they felt they took the trip to Yellowstone, and flew home before we got there.
POW island were incredible. Whales were plentiful, fishing was incredible. Now this year I’m making a fast trip to Ketchikan and then leaving boat up there. Plan on flying up and going to Sitka, Juneau and other locations over the summer and back early September. Leaving June 20th.
Question. Any advice for moorage while up there? Any advice for 3-4 day trips around Sitka, Juneau, Ketchikan?
Thanks!
