Yesterday we entered Alaska waters,and tonight we are tied up in Ketchihan at one of the marinas. This is a very busy place. There were four big cruise ships here today and there are float planes coming and going all day every few minutes. Lots of commerical fish boats tied up in here too. Clearing customs was a breeze.Tomorrow we will head out but stay fairly close to Ketchikan as my mother is going o send us some mail so we will come back in about 10 days to pick it up. We have not seen any mail since we left in April. I bought some more bottom fishing tackle today and we will need to get Alaska fishing license's also. The salmon are just starting to show up here. Alaska does not go on daylight savings time and its now 10:45pm your time and it's still not dark out. They average 17:49 hours of daylight here this time of the year. See you guys, Russ, Pat, Maddie
Congrats on getting into Alaskan waters! You made it.
ReplyDeleteI was talking to a customer the other day (I think it was Sam Twining) about your trip. He asked if you were doing any fishing. I told him that I knew you had done some shrimping and crabbing, but didn't think you had done any fishing. He asked me to tell you that you really needed to go fishing. From the sounds of your post, it's on your to-do list.
Glad to hear everything is going well for you all. Have fun and stay safe.
Congratulations! I am glad you made it. The pictures you posted are beautiful. Russ is doing a good job with the blog. It sounds like you guys are having the time of you life! :)
