Day 10 and 11, August 2 and 3

I combined Thursday and Friday as the satellite signal on Thursday was intermittent.This is about as stressful as it gets.

Fly in to Ketchican commercial and take a boat or airplane taxi.

As I mentioned, we have talks in the observation lounge. This is a Coast Guard Captain talking about his assignment of patroling the Bering Sea.

It seems like you are in a foreign country, but there are reminders.

Another version of riding off into the sunset.

Petersburg in the background. Tina and Jay will recognize the "Mortwear."

All of Tommy Josephs works are commissioned. This is his current design.

And, he still has a lot of work to do. I was able to get a 30 second video of the two of them working. It is amazing what he can do with that adze.

I was happy not to be buying gas today as it was $3.45 in Ketchican and $4.00 in Wrangell. Tomorrow, I leave the ferry at 6 am to ride to Whitehorse. Back to Skagway on Sunday to take another narrow gauge train ride to the summit of a local peak. The soup on board this ship is as good as it gets. Clam chowder tonight.
