I try to get down to Skagway to see the last ships each year, and yesterday turned out to be an excellent one. Lousy weather (as expected), excellent day. I always wonder whether people know the kind of weather to expect when they book these very late (or very...

The Fall colours on Golden Horn are spectacular this morning – this photo was taken from the deck at 07:40. I had planned to get into the high country today but the friend who was going to go with me cancelled because she’s sick. Now, should I go and...
