Hey Everyone!! This is Marrissa, Rob's daughter helping the lovely Regina with updating the blog. If you guys have any questions along his journey I would love to act as a medium! Post them as comments below! Here goes:
I just got off the phone with Rob and he said that he is aboard the ferry heading to Whittier, Alaska (with one short stop in between). Alaska time is 4 hours behind NY time, for those of you who were wondering.
He had a long layover while waiting to switch ferries in Juneau. On the layover he headed left on "End of the Road" to Tongass National Forest where he was able to free drop the dogs. I was emailed a video and the dogs looked very happy to be able to get out and run around a bit. They looked just as excited as Rob to be in Alaska.
After the free drop, he was feeding and watering at the truck when he noticed multiple juvenile bald eagles and ravens "three times the size of a crow," surrounding the truck for the meat. He thought that was the coolest thing and will be sending pictures when he is able to use Wi-Fi.
He took a couple great shots of Juneau and headed back to the port. He noted that the Kennicott Ferry crew had to chain the truck down for extra support during the extremely high seas to Whittier, AK.
And they're off!
He is in such great spirits and really grateful for all the support! :)

The Kennicott Ferry (Juneau, AK to Whittier, AK) The final stretch and by far the WORSE seas!

*Rob would like to say a HUGE thank you to ALL the crew of both ferries for how extremely helpful and supportive they have been throughout his and the dogs ride!*
