Best Alaska Cruise

The eastern shore of Vancouver Island is a surprise. Looking across the water I can see islands. From here I can’t tell how many or where they start and stop. The mountains behind them are the Canadian mainland. They call the water Johnstone Strait. It really looks like a wide river, maybe wider than the Mississippi. Along the water the trees extend down to the high tide mark. I can’t see any towns or villages. No buildings around. In many ways it appears to be wilderness.

Out on the water it’s a different story. I can see ships that are headed to Alaska and ones coming back. It’s not what I expected. There’s a tugboat pulling a huge barge with stacks of the big metal shipping containers. On top of the pile is a manufactured home. Another tug and barge headed north has a commercial fishing boat on top. There’s a cruise ship as well, carrying passengers on what for them will be the best Alaska cruise. Oh, how I want to go!
I want to travel the Alaska Marine Highway…to see things I’ve heard or read about…to know firsthand how big a grizzly is…to watch ice break off a glacier…to see eagles soar and whales swim.
