Glacier tour

Hi Shipmates -

Lynn and I are off for a week, heading to Prince William Sound. If only this were a sailboat ….

This is a dual purpose mission: vacation and research. I’m going to school on how this cruise line does the job. It’s a smallish ship with about 70 passengers. “A soft adventure,” just as we bill our Channel Islands Cruises.

Apparently the accommodations are very similar to Sancerre’s guest cabin i.e. cozy. Their crew, like ours, takes folks on side tours, gives the nature talks, prepares and serves the food. They just do it for many more people than the Bosun and I.

I don’t know that they’ll share trade secrets, but even so, I’ll get to see this from the customer side of the operation.

If you’re trying to book a trip with Sail Channel Islands, just shoot me an e-mail and I’ll get back to you as soon as I get back to California – I should be back in gear by 19 June.

  2. Hi Capt. Dan,

    AMAZING! I can believe you are in ALASKA?! Kathryn and I are really looking forward to meeting you and our trip with you this Saturday the 19th. Have a safe journey home!

  3. That’s what happens when you’re self employed, on the job 24-7. How do you hold up under the strain ?
