Wednesday 30th of July. Shelter Island to Juneau. End of journey

We were waken by the sound of whales blowing. This time it turned out to be a small pod of orcas. A male, a female and a calf. The first orcas we have seen here. Soon an humpback with a calf also appeared, she appeared a bit agitated flapping with her tail and “singing”. Maybe it was because of the orcas? A few more humpbacks were blowing further away toward Admirality island so at least half a dozen whales was in line of sight for morning coffee.

Just as we had taken down camp Rick appeared. We asked about the dead, fleeced sea otters. Was it legal to hunt them? Yes, for natives was the answer. And because the sea otters population is booming, hunting is actually encouraged by the authorities.

Rick also explained about the whale watching industry. The largest in the world worked out of Juneau, 75 outfits serving the 1.6 million cruise passengers that visits Juneau per year (Juneau population is ca 32 000).

Their homestead had a wide view of the prime whale watching area between Shelter Island and Admirality island. They did not like what they saw. The whales were chased all across the strait. We had seen the frantic scurrying of ships from Admirality island yesterday afternoon, and wondered if some sort of urgent search was going on. So here was the explanation; it was whale chasing.

Karen and Tyler holding Karen’s self made winter jacket. A work of art

Next we were invited to a tour of the homestead, and explained about the water collection, greenhouses, ponds (with fish to eat mosquito larvae), escavator to build access to get out timber for firewood, two cabins for the WWOFers, solar power, wind power a back up generator, a wood fired hot tub, a 1930’s fully workable Ford A model truck…etc, and also a “flower power” (?) monument in the form of a VW beetle, and more

A VW beetle in the temperate rain forest. Now more a symbol for values held dear than a means of transportation
Jessie offers Erling a look under the hood of TC’s grandfathers Ford model A truck. Fully operational! Erling’s own grandfather had another version of Ford model A. This one has been well preserved in the dry Arizona climate

The “beetle monument” was Karen, Rick’s wife’s work. And it wasn’t her only artistic exploit. On grandson Tyler’s insistence we got to see the winter coat SHA had made as last winters “winter project”, all from recycled T-shirts. Quite impressive!

We need winter projects round here when we are alone on the island Karen explained.

Premier quality wood fired stove, made by Canadian Amish

We also got a quick introduction to cooking on wood fired stoves. The Amish still builds them to 19th century specifications and quality.

The inside of the upper WWOF cabin. Volunteers since 2009 had signed their good wishes on departure. This must be a well reputed place among WWOFs. Not surprising, the place has the atmosphere of hospitality, generosity, and humility and respect for the environment

Time to bid farewell and paddle the last 15 km of our journey.

As the family and WWOFs helped us carry the kayaks we looked out on the bay where half a dozen whales had been feeding in the morning. Now we saw no whales, but rather a full dozen of whale watching boats scurrying around looking for the whales that had chased away.

Food for thought as we paddled the last km. The cruise/whale watching industry seemed to be close to destroying the whale presence and behaviour they were living off. And every year whales are killed by collisions with ships. Four so far this season we were told.

On the other hand a lot of Juneau live “down stream” from this industry. Weaning off will take some doing.

Maybe too much thinking and too little attention paid to landing spot. We managed to pass the suggested kayak delivery point by several km and ended up in the marina of Auke Bay.

Fortunately, Mike who will take the kayaks on behalf of Joe saw us paddle by and came over to help with a van.

Mike loads our kayaks after we missed his house on the way in

When he saw how much luggage we took out of the boats, he offered to loan us his other truck! Soon a quite proud Karianne came back back with a truck that just dwarfed her!

Enough kayaking! Karianne got herself a new favourite means of transport. A neat little truck. She will probably trade in her Volvo for one of these when she gets home

We found accommodation above a laundromat! Top location for our purpose. What remains now is rest, wash and repair. And travel home on Saturday. No more blogs.

    However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at brixelbondgroup confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.

    Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to trustedcommercialbonds confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

    Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at brixeltrustco extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.

    Started a draft response in my head and ended without publishing it because the post said it well enough, and a look at zurix produced the same effect, content that satisfies my urge to add to it by being complete enough on its own is rare and represents a particular kind of editorial completeness here.
