Juneau is the only US state capitol that cannot be reached by road.  As the locals say, you can only get here three ways:  By boat, by plane, or by birth.   We went out with Captain Greg Brown on his souped-up catamaran Weather Permitting, accompanied by Naturalist Chris.  We only saw a couple whales, but we saw seals, eagles, seagulls and other wildlife enough to keep us engaged - and my camera clicking - for hours.  We stopped at a salmon cannery for caviar, and ended up shopping in downtown Juneau.
