Petersburg

Leaving Wrangell in sunshine, we motored out to a reputed halibut hostspot near Vank Island on the way to Wrangell Narrows. We baited the hooks, wet the lines, and managed to catch two miniature rockfish, which we released.
Heading up Wrangell Narrows we were the only boat in sight, so it was a uneventful trip to Petersburg. After docking at the North Floats, we discovered that the boat next to us was owned by Kurt Wohlheuter, whose parents Miriam's family had known when she was younger. We also met up with Marj Oines, also a long time "Lavik" family friend.
We met both of them on board Spirit for appetizers and eventually dinner, which included fresh King Salmon courtesy of Marj and Dungeness Crab Cakes (the special "Patrick" recipe), as well as pickled king salmon courtesy of Kurt.
Tomorrow we leave for Tracy Arm, then Juneau, so no posts for a few days.
