Visiters from out of town

On Saturday we met with Fran of SV Cape St. James, her daughter Jen, Jen's son Sam, Jen's half sister and Fran's friend Pat at Boudin's Cafe at Fisherman's Wharf. They are in town to race in the Nike Women's Marathon on Sunday. It was great to catch up on Fran's activities in Sitka and their sailing adventures this past summer.

Since Sam is only six months old, we volunteered to sit with him on Sunday while the ladies did their walk/run. Unfortunately it rained as they were crossing the finish line and the wait for a bus back to the race start was 2 hours. It was a long day for them but they were all very proud of their Tiffany necklaces, the prize for finishing. Apparently local firemen dress up in tuxedos and hold silver trays with Tiffany boxes for the finishers. How elegant.

Well done ladies!
