Vancouver & Seattle

---Current location Williams Arizona--- Ferry from Haines Alaska to Prince Rupert BC We are exiting Alaska via Ferry along the Marine Highway.

Playing with Jack a new friend Finn made, hot showers and just taking in the scenery. We caught sight of porpoise, whales and birds albeit at a distance. The unfortunate thing was we didn't have time to explore the port towns but now this gives us something to come back for. Our adventures in Alaska have been magnificent and it hasn't fully sunk in that we are leaving this vast open state but we are so glad we did come to the last frontier.
