Still in Juneau

Auke bay harbour is about 14 miles from downtown Juneau, there is a bus every half hour and it is only a $3.00 round trip BUT, how many times do you want to see the same jewelry and gift stores. Enough already!!

There is always something to do aboard and if not then just walking the docks, checking out the fishing boats and the mega yachts (2)  and talking to the fishermen makes for an interesting day.

Sport fishing boats rafted at least 2 deep

It is a busy harbour when the fishboats are in.

Most of the commercial guys raft together

The fishery is strictly controlled by the Alaska State Government and different types of fishing,( trollers, gill netters, seine netters etc)  and different areas have "openings" (when they are allowed to fish) at different times and places. For example Seine netting may be "open" at Juneau but closed 50 miles away.
In the Juneau area right now, Seine netting is "open" from noon Sundays till noon Wednesdays so between Wednesday night and Saturday night this harbour is extremely busy, all the boats are in doing their maintainance, provisioning and repairing nets etc.

Mending nets

Today, Sunday, the place empties out in the wee small hours except for cruisers like us , sports fishermen and tour boats.
