An early morning start out to Juneau on the "Chalinga" a comfortable ferry heading for Angoon on Admiralty Island. A stopover in Sitka was planned but not far out of Angoon the Captain announced a mechanical issue with the ferry which meant we were bypassing Sitka and heading back to Juneau. Well the weather was cool and rainy so a day of relaxation aboard the ferry was the only option available for us. Arriving back at the ferry terminal in Juneau mid afternoon we were now to endure a 10-11 hour wait for our connecting ferry the "Matanska" which was due to arrive at 1.00am. A long day with not many facilities available but we were able to order a takeaway pizza for dinner which went down really well. Many ofthe travellers in the same situation as us bedded down on chairs and the floor to pass the time away. The puzzle books came in handy as we amused ourselves with puzzles and Trivia for a few hours. Come 1.45 am we were able to board our ship, heading straight for the cabin for the night. The ferry was to leave Juneau at 3.30 am ,not that either of us were aware of the time as we were already in the land of nod.
