I have been working hard today and yesterday but my long ferry trip from Juneau to Wrangell was wonderful. I read a book about the gnostic gospells, and napped several times. I watched eagles, sealions, gulls, otters, cormorants, as I sailed by them at a slow 9 to 12 knots of ferry placidity. The ferry was mostly empty but the few of us who sat and talked and just savored the alternating sun, fog, and clouds all day. When we got to Sitka it was all sun and the hike to town and around was exilarating. As the night sat on us early at 4pm, I crawled back into a book about the fur trade and what the early Americas looked like to these early adventurers. I fell asleep on the floor of the ferry waking only to the port of Petersburg we stopped briefly in around 3 am. Back to sleep to wake to my arrival in Wrangell to pull my kayak on wheels while pushing my work supplies a mile to the clinic to set up and get ready for the people to show up. It has been so pleasant. I too want to retire but not now.
