Taku Harbor to Juneau 23 miles 2 ¼ hours

We are heading to Juneau today.  It’s another sunny day and everything looks so beautiful.  There are snow-capped mountains everywhere.  We had to dodge the gill-netters again this morning.  Fishing is a really tough occupation.  We followed the cruise ship Westerdam into Gastineau Channel.  I tried calling the harbor office for a slip assignment but we must hail the harbormaster on VHS 73.  Fortunately we were able to get a side tie on dock 5 in Harris Harbor.  This marina is the closest to downtown and great for walking.  The charter boat Sumdum is behind us on the dock.  Fred got the number for a diver and made arrangements for him to come tomorrow.
