Skiff Crossing the Bar, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2349

A small skiff crosses the Juneau Bar at high tide on a wintery day. Thedaily fluctuations of tide control when one can get around the northern tipof Douglas Island. At a large high tide, large boats can move through thegut, but at low,low tides, an individual can cross in knee high water.
