Day 33, 6/1: Thursday started by calling a cab to take us the mile to do laundry. The mile we walked several times but not with a 25-pound bag of laundry, any way it was a good buy at $8. Called again when we were done and probably had to wait 5 minutes. The longest wait of the day. Later we called again so we could get to Petroglyph Park on the other side of town. We walked the beach looking for the petroglyphs and found two dozen carvings on the beach. We went at low tide but it wasn’t needed all that we found were higher on the beach. All the rocks that get covered with water had weeds growing on them so we couldn’t have found anything. When we were done, I called the cab and it turns out that he had been out to our drop off thinking we should be done and turn around when we weren’t there. So he was only 2 minutes away when we called. We had him take us to a pizza joint for dinner. After dinner we walked back to the boat.

Day 34, 6/2: On Friday we hiked to town and went to the IGA to provision. We filled a backpack, and two other bags walking back to the boat. I am glad water melon wasn’t on sale. Prices haven’t been as bad as I expected but we did see mayo at $10 a bottle. I pointed out the gallon of mayo was only $30 but we left all the mayo in the store.

Day 35, 6/3: Today we left Wrangell and we are anchored in St John Harbor about 20 miles away from Wrangell. Today has been the best weather day for a while we have only had a few hard downpours. We just had a couple of Canadian boats join us in the anchorage. We might stay here or move on tomorrow based on how good the anchorage is tonight. Tomorrow the forecast says 1.65 inches of rain. I am hoping they are wrong. It might be another wet Sunday watching racing, if we can get it.

Otter

In the museum we went to they had several pelts of animals that were hunted in the past. You can touch  them and by far the Otter pelt was the softest out of the ten they had on display. Not what either one of us expected.
