The morning bus from the Denali Park entrance got us to Anchorage around 2. We checked into the Sheraton and then decided that we were hungry. Humpy’s (named after the salmon that have made it up stream and are not good to eat, or their other restaurant in Hawaii of the same name, but named for the humpback whale) was the restaurant of choice. It was near the hotel and a true local spot. Delicious halibut tacos!
Dinner was a the Glacier Brewhouse. Kelley had made reservations for us before we left home. The food was tasty, however, the best food we had in Anchorage was a Simon and Seafort’s. If ever in Anchorage, don not miss it!

Friday morning Kelley and I start the adventure. We are flying to Ketchikan, spend the night and then fly on to Anchorage. After one night there we will take the domed train to Denali where we will head for the backcountry lodge. If I am able, I will post.
We have been watching the movements of Lady K. I think that the weather is cooperating. Lady K has AIS and we have been following her progress. Here is the link we are using, an account is free and then you can put Lady K in your fleet and always find her.

Yesterday was the day that we on the Lady K were looking forward to, however, Mother Nature squashed our plans. The reservations to Seattle were cancelled.
The boat has been unable to leave the dock and begin its trip north. The waves and wind have been too strong…today Chuck said that when there is an opportunity to start, Tim will get to Monterey and wait for another opportunity to go on.
Because of the uncertainty and our reservations to visit Denali, Kelley and I are flying on the 20th to Ketchikan; on the 21st we will fly to Anchorage and then begin the trip to Denali. Now our hope is that the boat will be in Alaska by the 28th, when our side-trip is finished.
Thanks a lot, Mother.

We have loaded Lady K with our clothes – will it be warm? will it be cool? It will be both, probably! Now the waiting begins. Once again Mother Nature is controlling when Lady K will leave. One hope is the 23rd, at the latest the 27th. All we know is that the four of us are flying to Seattle on June 1st. Please, Mother Nature, smile on us.
