Alaskan Cruise #1

[O'Neille]

There you go making me homesick. No wait, winter is coming and I'm in Arizona now. You don't have to shovel sunshine!

The older Alaska Marine Highways ships were built from other ships. Because of this they vibrated like crazy because of the previous stress patterns in the steel. And they were noisy as heck. Here is a link to my old college transportation. As I recall my last trip North cost me $200 including my motorcyle (from Seattle). In those days half of the ship slept in the solarium, like a giant hippie slumber party. Thanks for the memories. O'Neille

Done that! It was pretty neat laying on the fantail under the stars in my sleeping bag and watching the mountains slide by in the night.
