Ferry To Kodiak

The ferry was half an hour late leaving Homer.

Sunset was gorgeous.

Nice stateroom on the ferry--we got the one for four so that we would have full facilities. So there was plenty of room, hot showers in the morning etc.

Our next door neighbor spotted my Gonzaga sweatshirt. He said his wife went to Gonzaga for a special program for a couple of years.

Arrived in Kodiak at 8:00 AM Friday, but it took 2 and a half hours to unload the vehicles. We were the last ones off---even the rig bringing out the dumpster got off before Lynn drove our RV off. I was waiting for him--it was really cold. They load and unload on a turntable which is a little scary to be riding on in an RV.

We went to breakfast at King's Diner. As left, a guy spotted my Zag sweatshirt and started a conversation. Apparently a local young man went there and graduated recently. He is now in Iraq. I did not catch the name. The guys said they had not heard of Gonzaga before this kid went there, but they knew all about it and the basketball team now.

We arrived on the second day of Crabfest. Booths--mostly food--were set up on the dock.

St. Paul Harbor--one of 2 main harbors for fishing vessels.

Russian Orthodox Church of Kodiak.

We went to the Alutiiq Musem. It was really nice.

Then we went out to our RV site and did the laundry--Rusty had jumped on the bed and made it filthy, so we had to do the sheets, blankets, mattress cover--everything.

We missed the Crabfest parade. We thought it was at 9 and we didn't wake up until a quarter of. Then we found out it was at 10--so we heard it on the radio. Not quite the same!!! :-)

We are at a coffee shop that has wireless.
