It hasn’t quite been all boat jobs and laundry and groceries and cleaning… We have had time to visit the Sitka National Forest, where Fynn became a junior ranger! We also have walked the town, which is full of cute shops and fishing things!  We took in the local Tginglit dance show and search, Read More
