Home Again, home again ...

We picked up the catamaran and started home. Although still foggy and now raining again, we stopped the ship by this fisherman to watch whales. Below is the spout of water from the whale, what you look for when trying to spot them. There were three at this spot and we watched for a while before heading home again.


We stopped first at Haines Alaska to drop off passengers. The skies began to clear and a rainbow appeared. It was very pretty and hopeful that the weather was changing.

This is Haines, a sleepy little town nestled on the coast of Alaska. We made our way back to Skagway (a 35 minute journey from Haines) and it was still socked in and pouring with rain. It was now 8:30 at night and we began our 170 km drive home from there. The White Pass was totally shrouded with fog which made driving slow but by the time we reached Carcross, the rain had stopped and you could actually see some blue sky.
