In June of 2022 I traveled to Alaska and sailed with Alaska Wilderness Charters on the luxurious yacht Glacier Bear to explore the Inside Passage waterway near Juneau. My travel mates were my sister Nancy and her children, Brinkley and Bryan. We also traveled with Heather Purvis from Perth, Australia.

Crew members were captain Neil Nickerson, engineer Al Smith and chef Ayesha Wise. All was made possible by Janet Mueller, supplemental crew member. Here is our story.
