This afternoon we board the next ferry for Ketchikan Alaska. We have to go through customs going into the US. The trip up the BC coast on the ferry was very long, but gorgeous the entire way. When I have more time I'll post some of the photos. Apparently we are hitting the best weather window. It's been in the high 60's to 70 degrees and some of the locals are commenting on how HOT it is! Walking in Cow Bay section of Prince Rupert, we saw an eagle just sitting on a fence 15 feet from us chewing on something. He watched us stop and gawk, then decided to finish his meal in a nearby tree. Of course, that's the one time the camera was in the car! We will get into Ketchican around midnight tonight (it's light until 10pm!), stay in a parking lot at Walmart, do some shopping and then get on the next ferry tomorrow to Prince of Wales Island. It's supposed to be fairly unpopulated and beautiful. It will be a nice 3 days of relaxing, maybe some salmon fishing and bear hunting (with the camera from the safety of the truck, of course). More later.
Although the name is the same, I'm going to change the format of this blog a little. As a safety net, I will use it keep followers informed of our cruising plans and locations while on our boat, Konocti Bay. Last year as we were cruising through some very isolated areas of Canada, it was clear that we planned with the winds, weather, charts and tides and most of the time no one knew where we were. Probably not a great idea. . . . I'm not sure how many followers are on this blog, nor how these come to you. However, I'm hoping a few are following at times. Please take a moment to reply, send an email or text so I have an idea who I need to invite to view the postings. Also, if you don't care to read this blog, just figure out how to delete yourself. It won't hurt my feelings. I tried, but it doesn't seem obvious from my perspective (and should be easy, right?). We are back in Washington now - blustery and cool and rainy at times. ...
