On My Own

This is Ann, today. I am sitting on a bench at Thomas Basin in Ketchikan, at a hot spot by the Ketchikan Yacht Club. David is off researching the Misty Fjords. I went to check out some things for the grands and then back to the boat to do some cleaning. My Mojo and the sun are back. There are almost no clouds in the sky and a slight breeze. Life is excellent. The Sea Star is tied up here giving boat tours. Some of you who watch The Deadliest Catch on the Discovery channel will recognize the name of the boat. It looks too clean to me. Guess iat's a good way to make some money in the off season.

Tkhere are two large cruise ships docked here. They have replaced the two that were here earlier today. In all there are seven here on Thursdays. The town is literally crawling with camera-packing couples in matching jackets. The cruise line owned jewelry shops are doing a booming business. I can't wait to get to Sitka.

Actually every day is a treat. We are lobing being on the water and becoming one with the boat. We may try some mooring in the Misty Fjords. Mooring is definitely not one of my favorite things to do, but sometimes one must stretch.

I'm getting enough sun for today so I will go. We think of our friends often and wish you were here to share these pleasures. Thanks to those of you who have offered advice about places to go that you have enjoyed. We have enjoyed some wonderful spots.
