AlaskaProf,
HaHa I see you w the sailboat at the Ketchikan YC and across from the Pioneer Hotel. When we went to K town we usually tied up at the YC but if the weather was too bad we'd get a room at the Pioneer and ride the ferry .. from POW Is.
Blessings on your trip/s
Here we were in K town looking north.

While I regard Ketchikan as a charmless burg made worse by industrial tourism, I make exception for the cozy k.y.c. and their quaint shack-on-a-barge clubhouse. We picked it quite arbitrarily--it's next door to the customs dock.
By chance, we arrived on Friday, just in time for Members' Barbecue and they treated us like visiting royals.
GOOD STORY: After dinner, shipmate and I asked where to get a cocktail and were directed to The Wheelhouse. Other guy thought we weren't "tough enough for The Wheelhouse", and told us about the big fight between Smith and Jones just last week in which Smith bit off Jones' nose and spat it on the floor whereupon it was eaten by his dog.
Firstguy replies, "Yeah, but that won't happen again, they have a new policy ....
No dogs."

My Dad, and I spent the Winter of 1956 tied up in Thomas Basin. It was cold. All the fresh water flowing out of Ketchikan Creek made ice three inches thick.

Welcome to the forum, From your history, we should have or may have passed. Home town is Ketchikan. Be interesting to visit were you to arrive here. Keep the forum posted with your plans, whistle a few bars and I will pick up the tune and we shall gather.
To the AKProf- I hear you on Meyers Chuck. My most favorite stop over particularly as our's is a small craft, and Clarence Straits a big piece of water at certain conditions, the Chuck is a welcome hold over spot. Good folks there as well when you become acquainted.
Don't have Cassy Peavy's cell phone # here at the house but will pick it up from the boat and post to you. If you contact her prior to arrival with the intent to overnight you can order hot cinnamon rolls delivered in the morning.
A real treat and be assured they are as large as Cinnabunns and as good.

We have a plan to head north next year. A return visit Edna Bay is on my bucket list.
I attended Main School in 56'. Friends with Jerry Germaine, Stan Sallup, Ron Porter, back in the day.

Okay, you were behind me. I was in class of 57- spoke with Ron the other day. Jerry is either 'Gone' or someplace down South. Knew of a 'Ronda' Sallup, could be Stan's wife. I know not Stan. Don't want to steal the thread. If you wish, PM me. Al-Ketchikan

O.K., so I did find a few more photos taken by the PO. Wish I had some of my own, but we left Anacortes for SOCAL right after the purchase.

In a heart beat!! I am at the age that our current boat is enough to finish out my years of boating. How ever, were one of these to drop out of the sky and available my heart would beat and flutter in an attempt to stave off the 2 footits that would come crashing down about my hip pocket wallet location!!
