| 09/08/05 - An overnight
ferry from Ketchikan drops us off in Petersburg at around 5.45am
in the morning. The soft light mutes the colours in the harbour while the
stillness of the water reflects postcard views back for our
admiration. As we watch, the sun rises quickly casting a diffused
pink light across the higher peaks and rendering the distant hills in soft
shades of grey.
Bald-headed eagles fly around us in the harbour while small diving ducks disappear for long stretches of time. From around 8am each morning float planes buzz around the bays and inlets of all the small towns where we stay, providing a much favoured way of getting people to isolated locations along the coast. |
