Sometimes during the summer months our waters seem to be filled with boats. More interesting, if rarer, than the big cruise ships we see so often, or the local fishing boats, are the luxury yachts.

If all goes according to plan, I’m in Alaska for the Summer Solstice, but sadly, not Haines. Juneau is one degree south and one degree east of Haines, which means while my family will have 18 hours and 35 minutes of daylight today, I’ll only have 18 hours and 16 minutes. The day after the solstice, when I return home, I’ll make that time up.
