Thursday July 19 to Tuesday July 24
We are moored at Sitka Harbor, a small sailing boat among huge commercial fishing boats. We have spent most of our time here reprovisioning and fixing things.
Our bear rescuers also arrived. We had an enjoyable dock party with them. All the locals commented on the crazy Canucks!
We walked to Swan Lake on a sunny day. The Russians used the lake to make ice, which they sold in San Francisco. When the Americans tried to offer a lower price for Alaska, the Russians countered that the lake and its ice was worth a lot.
We belatedly celebrated my birthday at a tiny, gourmet bistro. It is always fully booked. We made reservations on Thursday for a Monday sitting!!
We're off southward along the west coast of Baranof Island tomorrow morning.
Cruising With Raven Song
