We did 10-12 days on a sailboat out of Juneau and I recommend it highly. Througout our travels we saw several cruiseships and all of the people looking at everything from afar while we were getting up close and personal...and not making such a impact on the environment. While sitting in an outdoor tub fed by a hot spring, overlooking a HUGE waterfall I watched a cruiseship navigate up as far as it could, everyone took their picture of the falls and then they threw it in reverse and headed out again.
We relaxed in hot springs, kayaked with whales and sea lions, hiked on several islands, enjoyed copious amounts of beer, wine and various other beverages, dined on fresh caught salmon and dungenous crab among other delicious meals prepared by Capt. Laurie and her first mate and sometimes by us if we felt like it. We got to lay out our goals and she tailored the route to meet that. My brother and sister had sailed with her the previous year as well.
Capt. Laurie has turned the helm of the Kirsten Anne over to Capt. Neil but I have been assured it is the same wonderful experience. The best adventure of my life. I came back completely relaxed and in awe over what I had seen and done.
