First leg to Sitka

The First Leg from Juneau to Sitka

We needed to be at the ferry at 1 am on Tuesday so we did not even try to sleep at home.  We had everything packed and checked off our list early.

The ferry was packed with trucks, buses and campers of all sorts.  It took a lot of skill and patience to piece everything together right. Our camper fit with just a couple of inches to spare. See the photo. I am glad that Diesel Truckin' Ellen was driving. She did a great job. Not much room for me to get out though.

We finally got to our stateroom about 4 am. Ellen couldn't sleep she was so excited. We loved it. Neat and clean. Bath and a shower.  I crashed and woke up at 11.  I still got to see some beautiful views of the hundreds of islands near Sitka.

Some of the islands were so close you could almost reach out and touch the trees as we sailed by.

After we arrived in Sitka, they kicked us off for an hour so they could give a better arrangement.  We drove around Sitka for about a half hour and then went back to the ferry.

After getting back to the ferry, Ellen finally caught up on her sleep .
