Gorgeous weather (still!) as we leave Juneau © Slowboat

With the flotilla wrapped up and some good weather ahead, we decided to leave Juneau and head around up Lynn Canal.

It's been a few years since we've been up, and being in Skagway for the 4th of July weekend sounded like it would be fun!

We cruised about 47nm up to Bridget Cove, a great anchorage in settled weather with a beautiful view across Lynn Canal from the northernmost part of the cove while still being fairly protected.
