"Dean and Georgia
Hoffman " Long time friends Dean and Georgia............return for third trip aboard Skookumchuck. Their favorite activity? "To relax and enjoy the scenery," although Dean does like to fish. The first time they came on board Dean wanted to stop along the way and take a nap but insisted the boat be stopped so he wouldn't miss anything. Now that's what I call having it all. This year, with our trip into Glacier Bay and with the weather the way it was, the phrase "taking it easy" took on a whole new dimension. |

 |
There were nature hikes. |
| That's Baneberry. One of Alaska's poisonous plants. |
 |
 |
And here's a mushroom that we'd never seen before and still haven't learned it's name. |
| Another hike? Yes, with the weather the way it was and the limited time available, we hiked a lot. |
 |
 |
And read magazines. |
| And ate. |
|
 |
No, Georgia didn't eat them all! |
| And celebrated Dean's birthday. |
|
 |
And visited the lodge. Here's the captain and first mate toasting each other. |
| And toasted and ate some more! |
 |
 |
And read some more. |
| We even considered hitchhiking out of there. |
 |
 |
However, we weren't desperate enough to do what these folks did. Can you believe it? They actually went swimming! |
| Departure day came and the wind continued to blow. Dean and Georgia departed Glacier Bay without ever getting to see the glaciers. "Oh, that's OK Ted, we'll see them when we come back the next time." Perfect guests! |
