The last few days before a passage are such a high! With energy and emotions running wild, bursting with anticipation, my mind exults at the thought of once again going to sea. I know of few other experiences in life that trigger the same flow of energy for me. That's why, after I step ashore, I am always impatiently awaiting the next opportunity.
Reid Glacier calving in the distance, humpbacks playing 100 feet from our dinghy, Stellar sea lions bellowing on North Marble Island, and La Perouse, a pinnacle of majesty over Dundas Bay, was all it took to get me hooked on the adventure I hadn't even known existed a week earlier. Alaska was profound for me.
