Days 32-33 | 2024 Flotilla to Alaska | Sitka

by

We’re all provisioned up and ready to head out in the morning again. Everyone has been making the most of their time in Sitka —  exploring town, walking the totem trails, eating food cooked by others, going to museums, and weaving in and out of cruise ship tourists. Here are a few snaps from the past couple days:

Fishing boats in Eliason Harbor
Eliason Harbor view from Airship
We met up for a group dinner at Mangiare, in the Sitka Hotel…delicious!
We didn’t stop at the Pioneer Bar, but I needed a shot of the signage on the front steps
Walking home from dinner with the group…this is a 1962-built replica of a Russian blockhouse. Read more here.
Taking a different route back to the boat harbor
Beautiful sky from Airship after dinner

We woke Wednesday morning to SUN. Again!

Shadows…from you-know-what.
Love the variety of working boats here
Clear enough to see Mt. Edgecumbe in the distance

Airship and Two’s Out are on the end tie of Float 1, far left.

The clouds are rolling back in, but we made the most of our sunny day. We’ll head out in the morning, tracing the steps we took to get here but stopping in a different Peril Strait anchorage (Appleton Cove) before heading north in Chatham Strait to Pavlof Harbor, then up and around and past Juneau for Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm (and Ford’s Terror).
