southeast!
Last weekend I got to paddle among whales and sea lions near Juneau. The salmon were jumping clear out of the water at all angles, skipping along the surface and belly-flopping as if they had jumped with no plan for the landing. One guess is that theyre jumping to loosen their egg sacks, but no one really knows why they do it, according to my guide on this trip, my friend Laura.We camped on an island, ate pistachios, and actually slept fairly well. The main feats of the trip were lighting a fire in the rain forest after some pretty steady rain (with help from some local publications) and crossing the channel when all we could see in every direction was water, fog, and low clouds. The non-feat was twice nearly catching a sizable salmon.
