"Sea Wolf"


Another Wooden Boat



Downtown Wrangell



Chief Shakes Longhouse



Two Tree Island


Overcast.  Still trying to arrange a tour to LeConte Glacier.  Want to take us to Petersburg and then to glaciers.  Too long.  Had a delicious breakfast at local café.  Really busy! Checked out all the stores.  Perfect timing for us as this is only one of two days where there is no sales tax in Wrangell and some of the stores had twenty percent off everything too.  (There’s my Scottish blood coming out again.)  Paid for our moorage around twenty dollars.  Fuelled up at $4.34 per US gallon and we are on our way to Petersburg.  Up Wrangell Narrows.  Very long, narrow and shallow.  Just have to follow the buoying system. At Petersburg we stayed at the Government dock C-602.  Good spot not to far from the ramp. 
Met John, a retired 747 pilot, here working on computers for the Coast Guard from Seattle, he came aboard.  He used to own the same boat and same year as ours when he lived on the Eastern Seaboard.  Loved it too.  He and David knew every inch of their boats, so they had lots to talk about.  Out to dinner to celebrate Pat & Bob’s 45th anniversary.
