August 6, 2005 Dunbar Inlet to Charlie’s Cove Day 159
We finally saw sunbreaks today! In Charlie’s Cove, I took my last exploration of Alaskan soil for this trip. We watched a stellar sunset while dining on sockeye salmon. Justin made an attempt at dessert: bananas fried in rum with chocolate and toasted walnuts on top. I thought it was pretty good, but Justin was dissatisfied with the presentation. The meal looked as if a seagull might have visited the plate. Oh well. I have come to really appreciate all of Justin’s cooking. He takes great pride in it, is good at experimenting in the galley, and always hands me the nicer plate of food. A true chef, and a true friend. While Justin is growing ecstatic about entering BC tomorrow, I am sad to be leaving Alaska. The “Alaska” chapter of Voyage Alaska 2005 is coming to an end. I will return. This place is in my blood.
