We spent our 4th of July holiday in Hoonah, visiting with Teresa and Shawn, Russ' sister and brother in law. We also were able to visit many friends who knew Russ when he was a teacher there several years ago.
While in Hoonah, we went halibut fishing and I caught my first big fish. It was still too small too keep, but you can say I was "hooked" anyway. We also saw some whales during our visit. Several came very close to the boat. Good whale photos are difficult to capture, taking diligent watchfulness as well as quick timing when they surface. We also went kayaking one day when it wasn't raining. One photo is of the cabin near Teresa and Shawn's home, where we stayed during our visit. Friends Eric, Alice and their three children are captured here in a photo as well. The picnic was taken at Fresh Water Bay, about an hour's drive down a dirt road from Hoonah. The people in Hoonah were wonderful and friendly and we found our stay there very relaxing before our final leg home.
