Our friends Dorothy and Dave Nagle on board their vessel the David Ellis arrived in Ketchikan today around 3:30 PM. We monitored the radio so knew which slip they were coming in to and were there to catch their lines.
We kidded them about having a floating party all the way up because on board were 7 people and 1 dog. Accompanying them were Dave’s brother and his family (4 people) and a visiting Australian friend of Dave. Their dog, Rusty, was one they adopted in Hong Kong. Rusty has far more sea time than we do since he was on board during David Ellis’s trip last year from Hong Kong to Seattle via the Aleutian Islands. The blog of their travels is at Semper Gumbi.
Dave’s brother and sister-in-law leave Ketchikan for their home in California on Monday. Dave’s two nieces will cruise with them for an additional week before also flying out from Ketchikan.
Now that we are assembled we can begin making plans for travels further north. Sitka and Elfin Cove (north of Sitka, near Glacier Bay) are on the Nagle’s desired list. We’re pretty flexible and not locked into any firm commitments. Details later.
