Hi Folks, We are in beautiful Sitka, waiting for our brand new transmission to arrive from Seattle. Yep, it was damaged along the way, so John took out the old one (at great effort and travail) and will install the new one (piece of cake). So, it's provisioning, laundry, shopping, a concert overlooking the Sitka waters and mountains, and site-seeing for a few days. Jimmy left us for a flight back to Phoenix and 107 degrees and Stephanie. We will miss his wonderful presence and help. We celebrated last night with a huge helping of just-caught-by-our-fisherman neighbor-king salmon and birthday cake. That boy is going places!
Here are some photos, no particular order but you'll get an idea of the travels. We are doing really well, and Buddy continues to be a loyal and happy little guy. No, he never learned to "go" on the boat. Love to you all, Carol

They smell |

And they yell at each other |
We'll try to post before we leave, but after
that we won't be in contact until Ketchikan again.
