Another day we rode our bikes 16 miles RT on the Park Road, enjoying the scenery and quiet… the only sounds were the crunch of the tires on the gravel and an infrequent park bus. Ground squirrels and rabbits skittered across our path and startled ptarmigan fluttered up when we approached.

I’d recently read a brochure about Haines, Alaska… another pene-exclave community about 438 miles south… way out of the way, BUT it was on the Lynn Canal (the longest and deepest fjord in North America), it looked like a very picturesque community AND we could possibly catch an express catamaran sightseeing trip to Juneau from there.

Read MoreHi there and welcome to Just A Little Further!
We are David and Marcie Lynn and we've lived aboard our Liberty 458 cutter-rigged sailboat since 2000.
What began as an urge to travel slowly and economically at our own pace ended up an adventure of a lifetime.
Well, here we are ... nearly 90,000 miles under the keel, 5 continents, 5 Great Southern Capes, 36 countries and almost two decades later, still taking one passage at a time and going just a little further.
