Hi friends,
a busy month at work has meant a bit less flight time for me
But I did manage to squeeze in the next leg of this long trip
From PAYA (Yakutat) to PAOH (Hoonah), and the Alaskan weather has improved as Spring gets nearer too:
On the ramp at Yakutat, and as you can see I'm using something a bit smaller for this leg:

Turning inland to follow the scenic route down Glacier Bay

which is joined by the Grand Pacific Glacier from the right

The GP Glacier meets the see at the top of Glacier Bay

and the views are stunning!

Beyond these islands is the Icy Straight

and the town of Hoonah

where the local pilots gave me a friendly welcome

Next leg will be a short hop to Sitka in the great Tongass fjords scenery - I'm looking forward to it already!
