On a clear, hot day we rode the ferry north, watching wooded vistas backed by huge mountains usually boasting snowfields and sometimes glaciers. Sunburns! The Alaska Marine Highway (the ferry) is the public transportation for southeastern Alaska. This run's clientele primarily consisted of locals returning to their island homes, fishermen off to win glory with rods, and a loony bunch of middle-aged German ladies out to have a good time. Around 11PM, we started through the Wrangle Narrows, only half again as wide as our boat and sometimes only 4 feet deeper than the boat's draft.
