And On to Juneau This morning we all rose early ( well, Denis rose at his usual time but I got up before the coffee had a chance to cool down) so we could prepare to leave our very quiet little bay. The sun was shining and it was an absolutely glorious morning. Mr Gardner …
Saturday- exploring Tenekee Friday night we anchored in Crab Bay ( for obvious reasons) across from Tenekee Springs.

Today was the last day of the official rendezvous, and it was busy! I had to get myself to the bakery/cafeby 0830 to pick up the cinnamon buns for the Captain and the Admiral- they weren’t ready but yesterday’s were, so I picked up the first four, chatted to Peter for a while, and then …
