Last Stop in Alaska - Ketchikan

This was the view for most of the trip to Ketchikan.  Motoring straight into wind and sea ...  Grey and wet.

After our delightful visit with Denali Rose we were back in delivery mode to keep pushing south.  By this time it is late October and a few miles to go until Victoria.

We stopped in Ketchikan for a few days to catch up on maintenance and logistics, to celebrate a birthday, and to wait for less worse weather to push on to Canada.

Cruising is easier now that we have capable teenagers.

And a birthday for our capable teenager Johnathan.

Up the mast to install our new wind sensor (damn eagles).

Helping a new cruiser do some planning.

Last chance to top on cheaper American diesel.  A pod of whales swam by as we were fueling.  Rather distracting.
