At 5 p.m. on Saturday, September
13, 1997, the three of us—Ed, Chris, and
Chris's mother Anne—boarded the
Holland America Line's m.s. Nieuw Amsterdam and embarked
from Vancouver, British Columbia, sailing north between
the Canadian mainland and Vancouver Island, then along
the Canada coast and up the Inside Passage, which winds
through southeast Alaska. As you can see,
southeast Alaska is far removed from the main part of the
state. The mountains which line the coast plunge
into the sea, forming deep passages, easy for ships to
navigate.
