The Alaska Marine Highway

We boarded the Alaska Marine Ferry on the morning of July 4th bound for Prince Rupart, Canada. We checked in the required two hours early and drove the Fords into the car deck at 9:00am. Thoughts of “Jonah in the belly of the whale” definitely came to mind at that point.

The ferry was extremely comfortable with several seating areas surrounded with huge windows to enjoy views of the water and wildlife. A park service naturalist is always on board to describe the views and provide information on the surrounding area. We changed to a different ferry in Juneau which required unloading the car and camper and reloading. By this time the guys were “old pros” at driving the cars and campers into the very narrow openings and lining up between huge RV’s in the bottom of the ship.

We are scheduled to stay two nights on board this ferry so we each have a tiny room complete with bunk beds and a miniature bathroom. I bet that we were the only people on board that were thrilled to have such spacious accommodations and did I mention our own bathrooms! After camping so long in our small campers and using 
campground showers and bathrooms – this ship is very spacious.

We
 have seen beautiful secluded lighthouses and miles and miles of 
ocean and shorelines. Dolphins and orca have been occasionally
 spotted and of course numerous eagles. The cafe on board has
 wonderful freshly prepared food and the “recliner” desk is a great 
place to read, whale watch or just take a quick snooze. We all look 
forward to getting back in the A’s in a couple of days, but 
this is a great way to travel the inside passage of Alaska.

  1. Sounds like Haines and its people are your new “home away from home”. There must have been great stories to hear from Mary. We hope you could compare the experiences she had with yours and can share them with us when you return home.
    Thanks to the ferry ride, you have refined Model A touring to the point where you don’t even have to get back into the car to get the next meal, bathroom break,or ice cream stop!
