Today we’ve got about 6 hours of cruising to get to Ketchikan. The skies are dry, if cloudy, for the first time in quite a few days, with patches, even, of occasional sunshine. We traveled the East Dixon Entrance into the islands and channels leading to Ketchikan in the first 3 hours of the morning, and Greg says it was an amazingly smooth and easy crossing, with sea swells, but not of the size leading to huge rocking and rolling. We showered and packed our gear to be ready for tomorrow’s departure. We’re starting to see many more boats, but still not much in the way of development. We plan to spend the afternoon checking out the town of Ketchikan, and Terry has given us lots of information on where to go and what to see. The four of us have agreed to have a dinner party “reunion” in September, and invite Jim and Phebe too, so we can all compare stories and see each other back home.

Hello, this is Greg and Terry's daughter Desiree. I just finished reading your blog and wanted to thank you for sharing it with all of us. It was such a delight to share in the adventure with you. I have had the pleasure of spending a week at the fish camp where Greg worked but I have yet to do the inside passage with them. It sounds like quite the adventure! I'm so glad you've enjoyed their company. They sure are special people:)
