Day 10 Monday
On Monday morning we sailed past Juneau, AK and further north to the ferry terminal. From the channel, we could see Mendenhall Glacier behind Juneau:
The ferry terminal is 12 miles from Juneau city center and we only had two hours in port so we decided to fore go a visit to the city. Fellow travelers offered to give us a ride to Auke Bay which is 1 mile from the terminal. We got to ride in their 1984 VW Vagagon. It was pretty cool.
We had hoped to find a gift shop open before 8 AM but there weren't any shops at all so we walked the mile back to the terminal:
Juneau was the last stop for us before Haines where we would disembark. The Ferry went on to Anchorage.
One of the computers that we carry is a small Surface Go by Microsoft. It is the size of a small iPad but runs a full version of Windows 10 so it can do everything our bigger notebooks can do. I also added a USB GPS receiver that interfaces with a Microsoft mapping program that does not require a WIFI or cellular connection to show our location on a simple map:
Here are some of the fantastic views along the route to Haines:
