Day 14 - Juneau

The most difficult part of the riding on day 13 and 14 was a 2 mile stretch of gravel on the way to the ferry. Once to the terminal, we had a chance to testify, and met the second mate "Jim". He is a biker, and a really fine fellow(clearly a professional at his job). So once well underway, he invited us up for a tour of the bridge. Both Jeff and Tim got a chance to take the controls and drive the massive ferry... After which, the professionals took the helm back and got the boat "back on course" ..... Most impressive,and so kind. We really hope to see Jim again, rumor has it he is a regular in Austin, Texas....Yee-Haw.

After a short ride, we boarded the ship. The boat ride was beyond description! Ask us for pictures........
