We have been in Sitka for several days, Brandon and Annie flew home after 6 days with us. We are preparing for a southerly journey, leaving tomorrow.

It was serendipitous to meet up with a neighbor from Sandy Hook while in town!  Cy came to our boat last evening then we went out to dinner and had a lovely few hours with him before he launched out with his boat today.  

It will be another week or so before we will be able to be online but our plans are to head down the east coast of Kuiu Island, then over to ?  We don't know.  We will take each day as it comes.

Rain defines this part of Alaska and one either gets used to it or it can defeat your mood, plans and mobility.  I think I am getting climatized, and find myself overheating in mid 50 degree misty walks.  It's about a half mile to the main part of Sitka from Eliason Harbor where we are marina'd, a busy place with fishing boats coming and going everyday; unloading, provisioning, crew changes and out again. Sitka interests me and I could easily spend much more time here but Tim wants to start south by tomorrow.  We're on the search for wolves and orcas!
