D & D Nagle aboard MV DavidEllis

The is the first we've had real, sustained connectivity and I just noticed our google earth position on sailblogs was still showing DE 2/3 the way across the Gulf of AK! That's where we got our butt seriously kicked, and a snapped para-vane pole to prove it. That's not a place I want to be hanging out long term either in reality or memory, so I've updated us to our current location.

We'll take today off from the whale-o-rama and get some boat and other chores done here in Petersburg. Likely tomorrow we'll continue down the Wrangel Narrows to Wrangel and then Ketchican.

Including a photo of Dorothy (bundled up against the cold, this is after all Alaska) and Rusty at the bow of DE in Red Bluff Bay.
