Goodbye Juneau, It Was Fantastic

 We got back to the ship

45 minutes late after our tour 

to see the whales in Auke Bay.

It seemed like the ship personnel were

keeping an eye out for us.

They scan your cruise card when 

leaving and returning to the ship

so they know exactly who is on board

and which tour group is late.

We were held up not only by that

construction traffic, but I think we were 

a bit late leaving the humpbacks as well.

Dock workers removing the safety

netting from under the gangway.

One last look at the top of the 

Mt. Roberts tramway.

It was beyond time that we were supposed

to leave.  I was waiting to see someone

cast off our lines.

Still waiting, but in the meantime

the sunset was reflecting gorgeous color

onto the clouds.

Ah, they were finally removing the gangway.

I really enjoyed watching all the dock

work in preparation for our arrivals

and departures.

Loved the sunset colors reflected on the water.

Still waiting... and we never did see the sailaway.

The lines were still anchoring us to the pier

when we decided to call it a night.

It was getting too late and the next day

 we had an early morning train to catch.

A sweet ending to a fabulous day.
