Point Retreat Light.

16 October 2013
It is a two day run from Juneau to Gustavus, the gateway to Glacier Bay National Park. You have to go south, back north, south again, and finally west. Here is a view of the Point Retreat Light at the end most northern point in that passage. The structure gives you a heads up that tides up here are prodigious to put it mildly. Besides providing an ocean that refuses to stay the same depth, they mean that water is flowing back and forth with great force making currents the master of the place when you have a six knot boat. Backwards anyone?
