After a short sail from the hot springs, we docked, then did nothing. Wonderful!
Got the bicycles out, oiled them, and went to collect the new compass for the
autopilot at Sitka Electronics.
Jane's log:
"Managed to get a short sail in for about a half hour or so with the jib up as we
ran into Sitka.
"Spotted a group of Rhinoceros Auklets as we left Hot Springs Bay. The
fishing boats in Sitka Sound looked like hordes of ants: incredible how many boats are out
there!
"Picked up the new compass and had a quick tour of Sitka. The cathedral is
amazing: it is a completely rebuilt replica of the original, which burned to the ground in
1966, and contains most of the original contents . It's amazing to see how much the
townspeople salvaged in twenty minutes!"
