Sitka, AK

21:17

One of the nice things about Sitka is the harbor is too small for the cruise ships and the ones that come here have to anchor out and take the passengers in by small boat so it is not as over run by cruise folks as Ketchikan and Juneau. We passed a Holland America ship as we came in but that was the only one in port.

It's been raining off and on this afternoon but I took a walk along the shore road and went to Murray Pacific Marine. This is this best marine store around. I got a few things for the boat like a new water hose and some hooks that an be used to hang wet coats and pants. Bob was trying to book flights home in August but it was nearly impossible because United (which serves Aspen and Chicago) doesn't play well with Alaska which serves Juneau. It took him almost 2 hrs to get it all done and he was not a happy camper as far as the airlines were concerned.

Later we walked up to Ludwig's for dinner. This is one of the best restaurants in Sitka and the dinner was good. I had the Cioppino, which was made with all fresh ingredients and we had a nice Rioja. 

Now we are well fed and ready for dinner. The Sitka Music Festival is on and I think we will try and catch some chamber music on Friday night.
