Replenishment

We weren't happy campers at Auke Bay.   I didn't like the breakwater where we were side-tied as there was no power, water, and there was a lot of wave action.   So, we left.

Today, we leisurely moved from Auke Bay to downtown Juneau.   We called in and they put us at the Aurora Harbor.   We only went all of 7 miles as the unlaiden swallow flies, but for us it was a 34-mile trip as we had to go around the island.  

The channel is basically a mud flat and mostly dry at low tide.  I probably could have made it through the channel, but something about discretion being the better part of common sense...   I went around the long way.

I am a wimpy boater.

Lousy weather today; cold, foggy, overcast, rainy, windy, yuk.  

We threaded our way through the 5 cruise ships in port and pulled into Aurora Harbor about 1300, settling into our assigned slip behind a similar sized Nordhavn.   We have power and water without the significant wave action and rolling we had at Auke Bay.   This is definitely an improvement.

A quick run to Costco to resupply (sorry, no pictures).   The Juneau Costco is the smallest of all Costco stores; it was still huge and looks just like any other Costco.

We got back to the boat, stored the items and went out to Salt in downtown Juneau for dinner, and a very nice dinner indeed.  

Karen had the salmon, and I had the 1/2 rack of lamb.  We paired that with a 2019 Virna Borgogno Barolo Cannubi.   Last fall we drove right by their winery just outside of Alba.  I guess I should have stopped in, but my travelling compatriots would likely have rebelled at that point.

Another quick trip to the local IGA to pick up the few groceries we couldn't get at Costco.   

Uber back to the boat and we are ready for bed!

Good night!
