Canada Day in Haines, AK

Sending down a diver to look for our lost propeller!


We have been in Haines since Monday afternoon, expecting to leave the following morning. However, when we tried to leave the dock on Tuesday,we discovered that we had lost one of our propellers somewhere in the depths of the sea. We have been 'marooned' in this lovely little town for four days, waiting for parts to arrive from Seattle, and hopefully all will be put in order for our departure on July 5th. Meanwhile we've enjoyed the community, the lovely sunshine, and especially Myrtle's contributions to making July 1st a jolly celebration!
It looks like we'll experience July 4th festivities in this town tomorrow: a build-your-own-raft race; bbq in the park; and fireworks off the breakwater... watch for more pictures in a few days.
