This is our eighth day on the hook in Haines, Alaska! We came in when the winds were blowing 30 knots and we could not get tied down in the marina, SO we have been dancing around the crab pots in Portage Cove ever since. A guy came by to harvest his pot Sunday and then we realized it was tangled on our anchor chain... ugh. Between Bill raising part of the chain and the man working from his dinghy, they finally freed it. The weekend was beautiful, with Saturday hitting 91 degrees, if you can imagine that!! Then Monday it turned ugly and we did not get to go on north to Skagway. It was just as
well, as Bill has had a really terrible sinus infection. He is just now beginning to feel better, after a week. We were entertained yesterday by the weekly arrival of the one cruise line that docks here: Holland America, and it was especially interesting for us since we came to Alaska in 2008 on the Zaandam. The Statendam, shown here, is a sister ship to the Zaandam.
