Subject: P Dream

Back on Wed we stopped in Steamboat Bay known for its whales. We saw hundreds. That night we heard animal sounds ashore--a first. Some of the whales also were noisy making a squealing sound when blowing. Thursday morning we were socked in with dense fog. With radar and GPS we felt our way slowly to Petersburg. On entering the harbor we exited the fog bank into bright sunshine. Behind the dense fog lay low on the water while snow covered mountain peaks floated above in the sun. Petersburg is a small Norwegian town and very friendly as is most of Alaska. The young girls were as cute as could be and their mothers looked like Eskimos. Almost all the fishing boats are in and preparing for winter with elaborate tenting.
Our holding tank has overflowed yet again. The new valve made in Turkey failed and the new macerator pump failed also. Jeff earned the big bucks!! Pay him and re plumed the entire head.
