Thanks for the kudos Jeff and thanks to you for painting them!!!
I would recommend an Anchorage-Juneau-Ketchikan route for the Electra. You can piggyback in cities such as Klawock, Sitka, Yakutat, Glacier Bay, Skagway and Port Hardy via the CV-240 or CV-580 ships.
I suspect that Ketchikan-Vancouver-Calgary-Seattle might be a good run for the Electra also. That gives the option of running back up north out of Ketchikan on the backside of the Anchorage run and connect the lower 48 with Canada on the west end via these fine ships.
I'm not an expert on Canadian routes, so I'll have to defer that side of the equation...
though I am running the Prince George to Seattle run in the CV-580 now.
BTW boss, will you please post a few pics of the new Electra?
