Even though it is cold and rainy today and even though we had to get up at 5:30 a.m., we had a beautiful ferry ride to Sitka. We traveled what they call the Inside Passage. It is islands and fjords. FYI: according to Wikipedia a fjord is a long narrow inlet with steep cliffs created in a valley carved by glacial activity. The only marine life we spotted was lots of jumping fish. I turned the heater on for the first time this trip when we got to the camp ground since we were cold and wet. And you all are in the middle of a heat wave! The channel picture with the lighthouse in the background was taken sitting on the couch in the camper. What can I say - just another beautiful day in the good life.

Comments from Eldon: Enjoyed the ferry ride despite the weather. Hope it improves so I can scooter around Sitka tomorrow.

Comments from Larry: OK, I know I'm a wimp, but I was so scared on the ferry today I chewed a hole in the screen door trying to get out. I have no idea where I would go if I did get out, but the noise and motion totally freaks me out. E & C tell me I have to do the boat ride 2 more times - somebody please rescue me.
