Our last lifting of the anchors on leg 1 of Mother Goose 2010… some threatened to never un-raft (ever!) but we all reluctantly made the final cruise up to Ketchikan, AK. After we all got settled into Bar Marina people started to pack and make hotel and travel arrangements. All except the boys of Mystic Eagle that is. Apparently they were having too much fun and weren’t ready to return to their regular lives quite yet. Conveniently enough, Mystic Eagle was available for leg 2 through Misty Fjords National Monument and Rick, Hal, & RJ Cree decided to jump on the opportunity to stay onboard for another week. We look forward to sharing another adventure with the Crees!
All of the boats decided to have a last dinner in town together and went to Annabel’s, a Ketchikan staple. We ate, drank, laughed, cried, and vowed to always keep in touch. It’s amazing the bonds that are formed while immersed in nature and out on the water. The sea is a magical place that demands respect but in return can show tolerance and introduce you to a world of wonders that will not soon be forgotten. This is a notion that Mother Goosers understand all too well and although we say goodbye to her for now, we look forward to the day we can respectfully return to her affectionate embrace.
