We are off to DSCN2558 this morning. Beautiful water ways with the pine trees coming right down to the water. To get into Myers Chuck you make a quick turn between large rocks and through a narrow passage into this charming cove.

We tied up to a long dock and got off the boat to walk on the small trail that takes one to the cabins that line the shore. DSCN2561

Karlyn and I stayed up and watched the “sun set” at 10ish. Although the sun doesn’t really set here until around 11 (and up at 2, I think) the colors of pink, peach, gold with the darkness from rain clouds causing parts to look purple was beautiful. A great first day!

The shuttle from the Narrows Inn dropped us off at Lady K. After a little bit of time to unpack we called for a taxi and returned to town. Although Kelley had not wanted the perfect Alaskan jacket, he decided to get one; the only color he liked was the black one, which happens to be the same color as Chuck’s.

A quick bite at Annabelle’s and a taxi ride back to Lady K. Home sweet home!

We all decided that we had eaten out enough so we barbequed burgers and had salad. Good home cookin’.

This is our third visit to this charming town. I feel like a native!

Karlyn and Chuck are here playing with one of their daughters and her family while they wait for Lady K to arrive. It has been a challenging trip getting the boat here because of the weather.

After breakfast with the group, we went into the rain to look Ketchikan over again. Chuck had bought the “perfect” Alaskan jacket – reversible with fleece on the inside and rain protection on the outside with a hood that can be unzipped from the jacket! All for $19.99! How could I pass this one up?

After lunch with Tiffany and John and the boys at Pioneer Cafe (a local spot shared by one of their tour guides), they head off for the airport and we return to the Narrows Inn for some quiet time. Later we decide to have drinks and dinner at the restaurant there.

Lady K, here we come tomorrow.

12:30 flight from Anchorage to Juneau, uneventful. Thank God. We stayed at the Goldbelt Hotel downtown. This city is small when you think about it being a capital. Loving to walk we toured the part of town near the waterfront; popped into the Lucky Lady, a local bar. (Saving Red Dog for a time when the cruise ships aren’t in). The bar tender told us about hikes that are around the city; pleases me that there are trails nearby. We are back for a week in July.
