My wife wants to go cruise the inside passage of AK. "Cruise, you
dont mean, NO, not a cruise ship, over my DEAD BODY". So, I go stew for awhile and look on the net and lo and behold find the Tolman Skiff pages, hmmmmmm. I can talk her into any crazed adventure normally. I build the skiff and show her the beautiful pics of people taking their skiffs around parts of the Passage trailering em by truck and seeing all this cool stuff. Damn, she doesnt buy it! Hmmmm, plan B. While in Wyoming last year, begin talking about trucking the Tolman to WY and boating all over JAckson lake AND then eventually up to AK. "Nope", she does not like the Tolman. She likes the sailboat. She wants to see whales (Me: "They're just oversized dolphins"). She wants to be comfortable. This from a woman who gave me grief for talking just once about buying a pop-up instead of using a tent? |

It is one beautiful place. Our big disappointment was not seeing any bears on the wilderness side. Next time we're going to try cooking some bacon. :-) |

Hence my inquiry about guns (I think I need a shotgun in WY) In Banf, damn mama bear took my pack apart while all I could do was watch and be quiet. It was about 40' up in a tree and she clawed it till packs of cocoa fell out and the little ones had a ball eating em up. Took me hours to sew it up again. Scared the crap outa me. THEN, anotehr bear in Shining Rock Wilderness, NC (yes, Cold Mountain, THAT Cold Mountain) decided to take a stump apart about 5' from our heads when we were camping without a tent. I huddled down in my bag while listening to my partner cocking his pistol |

Small boats, maybe 80 passengers. |

Go do all the research and let me know which is the best deal. My wife wants to do a Seattle to Alaska cruise, maybe next spring. So, hurry up.. -- John H.
