Taku Harbor






June 26th
Taku Harbor is our home for two nights. We are on a dock and it is nice to be able to get off the boat and look around. This is the sight of a Hudson Bay fort in the 1840's and then more recently a cannery that lasted until 1923. Lots of fun ruins to explore. Over the years people have made sculptures on the old pilings with some of the iron and steal left from the cannery. We also took the dingy around to the most incredible rock formations. I managed to fill my pockets with rocks - until Mike notice a squall coming our way and we hurried to the dingy to motor back in the soaking rain and wind! We have been on the look out of a Grizzly bear mother and cub that have been in the area - no sign of them, though I am driving Mike crazy singing and jingling my bear bells whenever we step away from the boat!
