The big boat journey - ferry from Vancouver Island to Juneau in Alaska.

Is THIS the boat? Bit small, but well-ventilated.

Ahhhh - THIS one! Big boat, small inlet. first stage of northward ferry journey - Port Hardy, on Vancouver Island. A bit early to run aground, perhaps

Always look on the bright side - safety first. Brrr - too cold for a dip.

I wonder if I could get a job modelling hats? Or tea-pot cosies?

So THIS is what happened to the passenger who complained about the food...

Up a creek like this, who'd want a paddle?

Getting scenic... and very cold

Juneau - home of closed shops and empty streets - waiting for the cruise-ships of summer.

And finally - the view from my hostel.
