Ketchikan to Meyers Chuck

4 ½ hours 37 miles
We had a bumpy ride up Clarence Straight. The wind was about 15 mph and we had whitecaps and about 2 foot chop. We were grateful to turn into Meyers chuck. It is a wonderful little harbor and village. There are about 15-20 homes around the harbor. There was no room on the dock so we had to anchor out. We couldn’t believe it, the !@#$ anchor chain got tangled up again. Poor Fred had to climb up to the chain locker and play with dirty, muddy chain. Fred didn’t feel like leaving the boat but he took Merlin & I over to the dock so we could go for a walk. Thank goodness that the weather has been dry. This place could be a real mud pit. Merlin had a great time on the trails and on their little beach. They have a little art gallery that carried some lovely quilts and other hand made trinkets. Good thing I left my wallet on the boat.
