Made it to Petersburg at the northern end of the Wrangell Narrows. The current rips through this channel, so we had to plan our arrival at the harbor well. We berthed in the North Harbor for two nights to check out the town, stock up on fruits and veggies, and get some projects done. Petersburg is nicknamed ‘little Norway’ for its strong Norwegian heritage. It is so stinking cute here and the mountain backdrop does indeed look like something out of Scandinavia. Oh, and the town smells like crabcakes lol. It’s a big fishing hub. We met super kind people at the harbor!🍻 Regarding projects…we’ve had to start our engine with a screwdriver for the past week 😭 we thought our starter solenoid was toast, but Dave cleaned the connections and added some dielectric grease and now our girl starts up 🍒 Our shower pump stopped working again, so we replaced the impeller pump with a diaphragm pump and now all is good in the world again. Fixed our head for the seven hundredth time…we’re about ready to install a toilet seat on the damn swim step (plz does anyone have good head recommendations? And NO we will not consider composting ❌🦟). Ciao Bella and @Port also got a well deserved bath 🛁
