Sitka by the fastest ferry.

I left Juneau Wednesday on a sunny morning and lined up.   I neglected to get a picture of the fast ferry Fairweather.  This is one cool boat.  200 feet plus goes +30 knots is built by Derecktor Yachts and is all aluminum.  Fast and light.  Very comfortable to ride..burns a lot of fuel.  It is used as a day boat between Petersburg - Juneau - Sitka.   It is very nice inside.  

You have to watch carefully because the scenery goes by twice as fast as the normal ferry's. 

I arrived in Sitka at 1pm and met up with Jenn at the "Condo-Naste".  The condo is on the beach.  Nice.   With the snarling cat "Ferel Bueller".  Jenn says "She doesn't like men."   I have been sweet talking to her and she is calming down.   Went for a tour of Jenn n Rick's house on the hill.top.  Way up there in the sky.. one of the highest in Sitka.. a view all the way to the coast.  They are doing a remodel and will move in September.
We when for dinner at he famous "Channel Club".  Great scotch and prime.. Reputation maintained.

I met up with my Rotarian friend Jeff Budd and we are up for a presentation to Sitka Rotary at the Unitarian Hall.  RFAR is ready..

So I do the fast ferry back to Juneau tomarrow.. I will get some pictures.

Sitka and no rain!
