One treat that we've (re)discovered in our time here in Petersburg is the availability of fresh seafood. Petersburg doesn't cater to tourists as much as some of the places we've stopped, especially the places where the cruise ships stop. That makes it nicer to explore and makes us stand out as the fresh off the boat tourists that we are.
Before leaving for the break we noticed a small business in town that sells, packages, and ships flash frozen seafood. We also ate at a small restaurant with picnic tables out front that specialized in king salmon, rockfish, and prawns. Now that we're back in town, we're taking advantage of both establishments: We had dinner at the restaurant last night; Tom bought king salmon for the barbie tonight; Sue will do halibut tomorrow night, and Tina will make a curry prawn dish the following night night. Awesome crew!
It rained most of the day today, so it was a good day to take care of stuff around town. Tomorrow, with the weather predicted to improve, we'll start heading south and anchor in Red Bay; an anchorage that recommends slack water and high tide to get in and out of, so we'll be leaving town at a leisurely hour tomorrow.
The crew is eager to get going though, so with luck I won't have to tie anyone to the mast to settle them down before we get under way.
Apologies for the paucity of photos - I get many requests for more photos, and we’ve taken a few, but there is honestly not many options for getting them up onto the cloud. Ketchikan has a big Safeway with reasonable wifi, so I’m hoping we’ll get a chance to upload a few when we arrive there in a few days.
