South East Alaska

One short week of illness after trekking across the rugged mountains of NE India I had the amazing opportunity to glide through the waters of South East Alaska on the Friday Harbor based boat, "Pacific Catalyst 2". You can go to their website here: http://www.pacificcatalyst.com/index.htm

I could not recommend more highly this trip and this boat. We were given every opportunity to experience the breathtaking vistas and natural beauty of this amazing and rugged region. While doing so, we were pampered and fed amazing food, shared great company and a lot of opportunities to learn from the on-board naturalist and guide (and San Juan Islander) Shannon Bailey.

If ever there is a need for perspective and personal healing in a world of pain, anguish and disaster it is being in the very fingerprints of God's Creation. Listening to the wind, the eagle, the bear and the whale--all formed by the same hand.

Hope you enjoy the pictures below.
