Auke Bay Harbor

We are docked at Auke Bay Harbor which is 12 miles north of downtown Juneau. Auke Bay is quiet and has all the amenities close by. There is hourly bus service for $1.50 to Juneau and the Airport.
We were concerned about the Douglas Bridge in central Juneau because of the height of our
65 ft.mast. We chose to go on the west side of Douglas Island to Auke Bay instead of Gastineau Channel to Juneau. There is one harbor across the channel from Juneau on the south side of the bridge with limited space called Douglas Harbor. We were also told that it is very noisy with float plane activity.
Daniel and Melanie return to Santa Cruz on May 11th. We have had a wonderful adventure and they will greatly missed.

Love all the great photos. (I took a quick look at all of them). Especially all the photos of the crab and shrimp you are about to eat (my favorite foods). Enjoy the rest of your trip. I logged in under my wife's account.
