MAY 30 SUNDAY - DAY 12

This morning we saw 13 goats on the hillside on the other side of the lake (with binoculars). The ranger assistant came out and let us know because of the heat that there is a fire ban. The only camp fires allowed are for cooking and only if you are standing there using it. There is 18-19 hours of daylight now......time for me to go home!! We headed for the ferry terminal about 11:00. The "short version" is the ferry was late coming in from Skagway so I left Haines 3 hours late which made leaving even harder! The ferry I traveled on is the Fairweather. It gets to Juneau in 2 1/4 hours instead of 4 1/2 which is what it takes the normal ferry. 8 hours in the ferry system. Spent Sunday night in Juneau, then 11 hours in airports on Monday. Home about 8:00 Monday night.
