Easy trip down to Sitka today. Approaching Sitka requires
transiting Neva Strait and Olga Strait, both narrow. As I approached Whitestone
Narrows I noticed the ~240 foot fast ferry Fairweather
was approaching from the opposite direction. I slowed down, then stopped,
to let him through before me. No reason to try and squeeze both of us in at the
same time.

Once in Sitka the chores began…washing the outside of the
boat, cleaning the inside. Brendan and Jordan leave tomorrow, then I have a few
days alone before Dad, Carrie, Ben, and Emma fly in.
When I arrived I called the Cummins dealer I’d spoken with
last week. The guy on the phone had no idea what the status of my alternator
order was and said to call back Monday morning. Although the alternator has
been working fine since the smoky episode, I want to have a new one installed.
