When the other boaters that we meet along the way ask us where we are headed next, we mention our plans but also include the reality that we take it as it comes.  Such was today.  We left Juneau after fueling up at the friendliest dock ever.  He even offered and made us a fresh cup of java as we shoved off.  Our plans were to sail to Pybus Bay but decided to head back to Taku Harbor in the north section of Stephen’s Passage.  We just wanted a short day with a bit of sailing.We had been there with Kate and Connor so were familiar with the floats for a safe place on a windy evening.  It was a sunny and peaceful cove and the float was empty until a few hours later.  I jumped out of Allusion to take the lines as a Nordic Tug, Salty Dawg,  motored slowly alongside to tie up.  30 minutes later another boat came in to tie up across from us.  It was Spirit Journey, owned by Rob and Michelle from Seattle who own a woodworking company where Connor has spent just a few of his dollars as of late.  We had met them in Anacortes in March and were delighted to get reacquainted.  Michelle offered us all hospitality for a chance to swap stories and local knowledge.  Every boater has more than a few stories to share and we never tire of them regardless of the exaggerations that are sure embellish truth!  It’s been another perfect day, and we end it with bear watch along the west shore.
