The Generosity of Alaskans
After a restful night in the secure anchorage of Meyers Chuck, in the morning we headed for Ketchikan. Fog played with our visibility but soon we could see Guard Island and entered Tongass Narrows past the Ketchikan Airport and called the Harbormaster for a slip. We docked the boat in Bar Harbor one of three harbors in the area. We met Joy and Vern when they graciously helped us to tie up at the dock. They recommended a local restaurant called "Ocean View". We decided to sit at the bar so we could watch the Olympics. We started a conversation with two young fishermen sitting next to us. We shared stories of places we have been, people we had met and fishing. We told them that we were not very good at fishing. They asked us the name of our boat and we said our good-byes. When we returned to the boat and found about twenty pounds of fresh Coho Salmon that had been cleaned and vacuumed packed. This was truly a "Random Act of Kindness!"
