Last day in Petersburg, before more cruising south

We had initially thought we'd spend one night in Petersburg, but decided to stay two. Today has been a relaxing day. We enjoyed a nice breakfast of hot pancakes, ham, and memosas. We listened to the local radio which was running their session on "TRADIO", for trade-radio. Locals call into the radio station to announce what they have that they want to sell or trade and provide appropriate contact info. Quite fun to listen to.

Our last walk thru Petersburg was fun to explore, but sad to know it is our last walk here. The town is very quiet, most likely as the harbor is empty. "Openings" for when fishermen can fish vary from a few hours to weeks. The next opening is this Thursday and it appears all the fishermen are out, ready to catch fish. Thus, there are very few boats in the harbor, and very few people in town. But the sun shined down on Petersburg today, so it was a delightful day to be here.

Here is a photo of Brad, at the Harbor Masters' office, where we stopped to pay our moorage fee. We'll be departing tomorrow morning for Wrangell.















Again, Petersburg has been one of our favorite cities and we highly recommend it for a place to visit.
