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.

    Found the post genuinely useful for something I was working on this week, and a look at goldmetalshop added more material I will reference, content that connects to my actual life and work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind I will pay attention to and return to repeatedly.

    Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at decordock only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.

    Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at otistaylorjr produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

    Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at ukrainianvictoryisthebestaward confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.

    Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at modernshoppingecosystem only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.

    Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at escobarvancouver extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.
