D & D Nagle aboard MV DavidEllis

DE is center of photo along the outside the the long floating dock...

Wrangell's got a fairly rough history - great museum by the way - and is still a bit rough today; but I like the place. Lots of interesting boats and interesting boat people. Besides the many fish boats, both large and small; there are a variety of cruisers in sailboats, trawlers and even canoes. Yesterday a Nordhavn 55 came in, which has come from Florida, through the Panama Canal, out to Hawaii and back here to Alaska and this morning a Nordhavn 46 came in. I don't know it's history, but the home port is listed as Newfoundland. We're out of here tomorrow morning 15 Aug. We have permits for Anan Bay, where the US Forest Service has a Bear & Wildlife Observatory. The literature on the place says one can bring their own weapons with them for protection?!
