Sunny. Betty rented a van so we all went sightseeing. Out to the Sitka National Historical Park, many totems in among the trees. Natives were having a little protest. Seems the park has terminated the need for totem carving on site. David and I went into the Jackson Museum. Rev Jackson collected a large amount of Indian relics a very long time ago. I’ve never seen clothing made of whale gut before. They also have the chief’s hat (raven skullcap) that he wore when they attacked the Russian’s fort here in the 1800’s. Went to Bayview Restaurant. Good food and friendly. By chance we met fellow BYC member Chris Barratt whose boat is “Up Spirits” is also here in town. Ladies got the washing and groceries done locally. We had a great Chinese dinner. Granma really spoiled us. Did you know that there was only one hour and thirteen minutes of darkness last night!
