Wrangell, AK 06.15.2013

Going into a new marina is always interesting and today was no different.  All of the guest moorage is on a linier dock.  Because we arrived after noon there was good space available for both Contessa and Second Chance. 

 

 

 

 

In town it happened to be “no tax” day so most stores had “sales”.  The grocery store had 20% of all groceries AND no sales tax!  When we got to the store to provision we found many of the shelves completely empty!!

Lynn & I went to the library for their free internet while the guys went to the marine & hardware stores for supplies.  While walking through town there were several different locations that had totem poles – very old ones that have been left in their original locations.  Hopefully someone maintains them going forward because it would be a shame to lose them because of neglect.

 

 

 

The town had a street fair so the guys came back with root-beer floats. 

At dinner time we walked up to the local movie theater, which is located inside the local museum, and saw the new “Star Trek” movie.  The movie theater is set up in the museum auditorium and has folding chairs which looked very uncomfortable but actually turned out to be just the opposite!  The folding chairs even tilted back!  We have never seen this type of chair before.  What a unique experience. 

After the movie, we went back to the street fair and got a hamburger.  Making it back to the boat around 10:30 pm AK. 

 

What a fun day!
