The Day Thus Far...
Set the alarm for 7am. We had a 7:15 port stop in Wrangell. It is a good chance to go to the car deck and check on the cats while in port. I got up to go fill our travel mugs full of coffee. For the second time in as many days, I got a comment on our travel mugs. I was told again that they are the best travel mugs ever. Contigo travel mugs. You can get them at Costco. 2 pack for $20. If you see them and like your morning coffee; trust me, make the purchase. These things have started two conversations on the boat about their awesomeness.
Cats are fine. They were pretty active when we get in the car. Sam refilled the food and water dishes, and changed the litter box. We got off for a brief minute while in port. Literally, a brief minute. In port less than an hour, so we walked off and walked back on. It is rainy and overcast, anyway. The dock worker didn’t even need to check our tickets to re-board. We had cell service, so I made a couple of quick calls to mom and dad. We are fine. Breakfast of instant oatmeal again and back to work. Sam stayed in the stateroom and I went up to the top deck for a table and big window. Not much to see due to the low cloud line. Sam calls this the airplane deck. It seats do look like airline seats, but it is quiet and I have a big window.
Oh, it is St. Patty’s day. A look through the bag and I forgot to bring anything green on the boat for the occasion. There is my obnoxiously bright green Oregon shirt, but it seems that it is still in the car. Sam managed to pack her fluorescent green Two Sisters shirt from Homer, AK. She changed. I will try to find a green shirt the next time the car deck is open. Wonder if they will have green beer at the ferry bar today…
Managed to talk to my kid brother for a brief minute today. I had asked him to try to get us some Pearl Jam tickets for the DC show on May 13 during the pre-sale today. Gave him my login for the pre-sale on the PJ website and my credit card number. He scored the pair for us. You rock, Dave!
We saw a great rainbow after lunch today. Right outside the boat. The end fell into the water. And on St. Paddie's Day!
We spent all morning working. Arrived in Ketchikan at 2pm. Got off the boat to meet one of Sam’s old friends. Sitting in a restaurant/bar, putting this post up. Next post will probably be on Friday when we hit Bellingham.
Up Next: Back in Canada Again, Eh?
M.E.
