departureandarrival

I just woke up, it is 4,40 in the morning. Went to bed like 22,00 yesterday so now can't sleep any more..

But there is a nice view from my window this morning.

Today we sailed in toi Glacier Bay to look at the Glacier there. I have been here many times but it is still pretty amazing to see the Glacier comming down from the mountain..

It is several million years old and reaches 21 miles up the mountain down to the water.

From the water to the top of the glacier it is 80 meters...

Another port in Alaska... Hmm I think the first time you are here everything is amazing , but after beeing in every port in Alaska 25 times I can't wait to get back down to the Carabean and drink Corona on the beach..

2 more weeks....

Yesterday I was in Kodiak, witch is a small island outside the Alaskan main land, it is most famous for it´s Kodiak bear.
It nice to get back to civiilasation again and every port we visit now is getting bigger and bigger. Then even had a McDonalds here.

But the weather is still to cold to make me happy, guess I have to wait another week or so th that to improve.



A Small King Crab



Kodiak Harbour

Many years ago.............


Some years later.......... and some more tatoos....

Hmm and i thought the State Trooper was suppose to be on the highway, guess if there is not so many roads you have to buy a boat :)

Today we arrived at Dutch Harbour, after watching alot of episodes of the deadliest catch on Discovery was my expectations high for this little village. The plan was to go of and eat as much king krab I could.

But there was nothing here. One hamburger grill and a mexican resturant, if i go to some remote place in Alaska I don't want to eat a burrito...

I just have to put this port behind me and hope Kodiak Island will be better..



At least I found some crab pods.

What can I say....
My baby needs the best............

Yesterday when I went to bed it was 01.00 the 24 of April, and today when I woke up it was 07.00 the 23 of April. This night we sailed over the date line and we moved 24 hours back in time.

Enought of Russia, back to the states....

At 6 am today we dropped the anchor outside the city of Petropavlosk who is the main city of Kamchatka Krai in the most eastern part of Russia.

The plan was to go of in the morning but after all the imigration officers (30 of them) came onboard with there stone age bureaucracy and administration I realized this will take some time.

So it was just to change clothes and go down in the engine room for some fun work. Today we rebuilt the fuel system on on of the main enginees. We put in a new pressure regulating valve on the return line from the engine to avoid pressure flucctioation in the fuel system.

So now you know that.

This is how it looked before


This is the new system with the new blue pressure regulating valve in the middle

So finished work for today......
Nice to come up to my newly cleaned room :)
