It also contains both the westernmost location in the USA and the easternmost location in the USA.The Gulf of Alaska and Prince William sound, Alaska
Did you know that we have more shoreline at an estimated 47,300 miles than the rest of the United States combined?
Or that 17 of the tallest 20 mountains in the United States are in Alaska
Or for you fishermen that there are estimated to be more rainbow trout in Alaska over 10 pounds than the rest of the world combined
Or that they call Minnesota the land of 10,000 lakes, when there are actually over 3,000,000 yes three million lakes in Alaska over 20 acres
Or that if you overlaid Alaska on the lower 48 states, it would stick out into both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans?
Or if you cut Alaska in half, and made each half a state, then Texas would become the third largest state?
Yes. I am an Alaskan!
Hardly fair to give the US 5 times the choices that Canada gets. Especially when we have the Inside Passage, the Broughtons, Desolation sound, the Gulf Islands, Barkley Sound, and that is only the BC coast.
I have sailed in the BVI and Turkey, and without a doubt, those ore inferior to cruising grounds in BC.

Possibly this summer. If not, next, the Great Loop.
So is that about 3 months at 20 knots?
If 2017, please don't wake me with your boat when you go by.

I'm planning on making 2 unusual side trips. Onto Lake Superior to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish point and if a nice enough day to the wreck site of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Second side trip is to the confluence of the Ohio, Allegheny, and the Monongahela rivers.
