Hey everyone, this is going to be a super short and picture-less update. (Sorry!) We don't have very much time (in general and specifically for internet use).
Here is a short summary of the last couple weeks:
We spent 4 wonderful nights in Juneau running errands, relaxing, eating a lot, and hanging out with Bryce and Emily. We woke up very early to leave Juneau and paddled a good 15 nm capped off with a mile long (not super easy) tramway portage. It was a long day and a long start to our next leg. We then spent a few days paddling down Admiralty Island with wonderful weather and light winds. Admiralty has the largest concentration of Grizzleys (1 per square mile) and Eagles. We saw only two bears there and luckily they were not in our campsites. We made it across Stephen's Passage which was one of our scariest, longest, open crossings (about 5 and a half miles) and we came real close to a cruise ship. Then we spent quite a few more days of wonderful weather and very long paddling distances (between 15-20 nautical miles per day) to make it here to Wrangell. Oh and we came real close (like 20 feet away) from some humpbacks.
We have about 7 days (assuming decent wind and currents) till we make it to Ketchikan and can hopefully put up a little more info.
