We made it thru the Narrows in fine fashion. The last 5 miles of the day we had lumpy sea conditions. The passage was a piece of cake. We left Petersburg at 7:45am, and arrived here at 3:45pm - in pouring rain. It was strange. It would come down in buckets and then just stop! We checked in with the Harbor Master and spent a quiet night at the visitor dock WITH POWER. Quite unlike our stay in Sitka... where we had to beg for power.
The waters near Wrangell are milky green as they are fed by the LaConte Glacier up the Stikine (stick EEN) River. The locals are friendly in this rustic village. Totem poles are scattered around the town. There is a fish processing plant at the dock, and many fishing boats coming in and out.
The sun is shining this Saturday afternoon. We came to the library - in hopes of blogging, etc. turns out they have no wireless. This is the first library we have visited in the last 3 years that does not have wireless. Ergo, we are using THEIR computers to do internet. The photos are on my laptop. You will see them next time.
Have a great 4th of July weekend. (Fireworks were going off last night already - folks getting a jump on the holiday, I guess.)
Next stop - fishing in Myers Chuck and then to Ketchikan to get ready for our voyage around Prince of Whales Island.
