Raptor Center

Sherry and Craig from S/V Sherry Lynn

We stopped waiting for the mechanic and headed to the Raptor Center here in Sitka. eagles have been taken off the endangered list, there are now 100,000 eagles in North American, 50,000 in Alaska and 25,000 in S.E. Alaska. (We think half of that is in the parking lot here in the marina.)

The center receives injured birds of pray and hopes to set them free again after rehabilitation. It was an interesting program, well worth the visit.

6-28-10 / 10:00 P.M.

Mt. Edgecumbe through the rigging.

Hard to go to sleep with so much daylight available. But since we have had such hard days (still waiting for the mechanic to show up) we manage to fall asleep, so we can get up and wait again the next day. Keep reminding ourselves that waiting in paradise is better than waiting in the big city.

It's a big job!!

But at least I don't have to cook!!!!
