Girls Just Wanna Go Sail-ing!

When a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend has a sailboat and invites you to sail from Skagway to Haines. . you say "hells yeah!" Meet our captain, Foreste, and her firstmate, Aliye...
But first we had to endure a ridiculously gorgeous, sunny drive from Whitehorse to Skagway.
 Welcome aboard the Nanatuk!

 Aliye in her element.
 Being born and raised in the Yukon gives you thick skin. So thick, in fact, that plunging into Alaskan waters in October does not phase you.
 Doesn't get much better than this...
 Welcome to Haines, Alaska!

In the words of Enya: "Sail away, sail away, sail away..."
 Preparations for a feast.
"Look, Jack, I'm flying."
 No fish....
Having mastered sailing, we made it back to Skagway motorless. Thank you Foreste and Aliye for such a badass Alaskan adventure.
