If you can ever do it take a lest than 50-foot boat trip from Seattle to Juneau, Alaska. You'll see things that few will see. I was 19 when I did that.

@@dianejpayne2769 There is a place called "Dodd Narrows", where ocean water falls three feet over itself. That's off the east coast of Vancouver Island. And on the east side of Baranof Island is Warm Springs Bay where there are some great hot springs and nearby is a big waterfall. In Icy Strait, we got close to an iceberg (dangerous I know) and got clean ice for our cooler. On Chichagof Island I used to catch all the Dolly Varden trout we on the boat could eat.. And I've seen schools of salmon over 10,000 waiting to go up a spawning stream. There were lots of ghost towns and at a minus tide, I still have Coke bottles from the late 1920's I found wandering around in my hip boots. Your boat can be 4 feet away from swimming dolphins. Going on a cruise ship just isn't the same. I've seen small towns with only one car and boardwalks were the streets and the bars had swinging doors. Once in a while where I now live on the western slopes of the Rockies, I talk to people who moved from Alaska to here in Idaho. One guy told me something I'll never forget; "You were in Alaska when Alaska was really Alaska." Be sure to look up "Venture in S.E. Alaska." Flemming Yacht Company. Best photography by far of Alaska and even up the Columbia and Snake Rivers to my country.
