� Our June 7^th visit to Vancouver was sunny and warm. After two weeks of rain and cold everyone was happy to see blue sky and feel the warmth of the sun. Upon departure we sailed away with heavy hearts fearing that once again we would be overcome by a shroud of miserable weather. Miraculously Southeast Alaska’s weather went from winter to mid-summer seemingly overnight. Ketchikan was not “The Nation’s Rain Capital” as temperatures soared into the low 80’s under sunny skies! Juneau was equally delightful; Skagway the same. As we head toward Sitka and then Hubbard Glacier, I can only hope these glorious conditions will prevail as I ready myself for Terry’s Big Adventure in Yakutat Bay! Details to follow.

So, those of you preparing for your cruise take heart – summer arrived! Though there are no guarantees that conditions will be this nice during your visit (after all this is Alaska!) at least we know the season is not doomed to be a sad and soggy one.
