We have Arrived in Dutch Harbor Alaska!

After sailing 3950 Nautical miles from Osaka Japan we arrived in Dutch Harbor Alaska at 1630 yesterday and tied up to the dock in the small boat harbor.  We were a little disappointed when we didn't see the crab boats made famous on the TV show made up here, but apparently they fish off the coast of Washington State in the summer time and only come to Dutch Harbor for crab season in the winter.

We will still find somewhere to feast on crab while we are here!

We are still about 2000 NM from Vancouver BC and will take a few days here to get a few things repaired on the boat and re-supply the larder....

The scenery here in Alaska is breathtaking! Eagles are everywhere and the local folks here are amazingly friendly.

 We splurged last night and went out for hamburgers and chicken wings.  After weeks of noodles, good old American food was quite a treat!

We will leave you today with a picture of "Fred", our local Otter who seems very well fed and happy....
