Hi all,
just got back from a cruise Vancouver, BC to Juneau AK and a few other
ports.  Great weather for the one day we were in Juneau, in fact
Spitfire driving weather!

Which brings me to the point - who would own a Spitfire in Juneau Alaska
where they tell me it rains 200 inches a year?  Rain on 200 days a year,
and cold the rest!  And the only way to get a vehicle in or out of the
city is by ocean going barge for a 3 day trip from Seattle, WA.  Maybe
in a container, not the way we saw pickup trucks lashed onto the top of
containers stacked 4 high on an open barge.

But I did see a very nice Spitfire tooling along, top down.  Wish I
could have met the guy and chatted with him.

We did see Miattas, Corvettes, etc, but a Spitfire - Boy, that must turn
heads in Juneau.

Cheers, Fred
