It is sunny and warm as soon as you land, still chilly on the water. We have come back to Ketchikan to re-fuel, get some fresh groceries, change the transmission oil, and do laundry and other menial chores.

Jets land on this strip!

The wind funnels and gusts hard in the narrow which makes it all the more difficult to manoeuver to our slip. But here we are safely tucked in  among the fishing fleet.  No bugs, no need for the heater, no rain, just the sunshine, the sunset ( bright red) and daylight till late and dawn before 4.  It’s as good as it gets. The thunderstorms are only  forecasted for tomorrow.
