On the Auke Bay ramp to the float to catch the Allen Marine's Catamaran<\/p><\/div>\n

Two Allen Marine catamarans pulled out of Auke Bay’s boat harbor to Hoonah early morning last Saturday, August 21, with almost 150 Juneauites on board each boat.\u00a0 The town of Hoonah has more veterans in the State of Alaska per capita than any other town in Alaska – it was time to celebrate.\u00a0 To coincide with the event, Hoonah’s Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall hosted a fundraising event to pay for its taxes for the year;\u00a0 5 Native dance groups from Juneau participated.\u00a0 The catamarans were packed.\u00a0 This was just a day trip.\u00a0 15 minutes out of Auke Bay’s harbor the weather, of course, improved.\u00a0 The 2.5 hour sail to Hoonah was beautiful; the sky broke, the ocean glassy, and the captain shut down the engines for about 20 minutes while a pod of about 12 humpback whales swam around us!\u00a0 (when I learn how to add videos to my blog, I’m adding the one I took of the whales swimming towards us…check back by the end of August to see this video).<\/p>\n

Although I am not part of a dance group in Juneau, I brought my button robe and beaded hat.\u00a0 I knew there would be the welcoming ceremony when we arrived at the dock in Hoonah.\u00a0 As we pulled in to the harbor, most everyone on board (who was attending the event) dressed in their regalia.\u00a0 Songs were shared.\u00a0 Cameras were flashing; videos shot.\u00a0 And there were lots of children!<\/p>\n

I went to Hoonah to pick berries with my friends Jan and Greg.\u00a0 I knew this was my only chance.\u00a0 I had to make a choice between celebrations and berry-picking.\u00a0 The harvest was fabulous!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
