We pulled in to Wrangell yesterday afternoon and went to the fuel dock to fill up. I should have filled up at Port Protection because they were nearly 35 cents cheaper and had no city tax added on top of the total price. We paid 5.11 here plus a 7% city tax, yikes. That will kill the budget pretty quick. I hear fishing is pretty good around here so maybe I can hire on as a rookie deck hand for a few weeks to pay for the trip home. Apparently Wrangell is the most expensive place in alaska to pick up fuel, not sure why but I found that out after going bankrupt at the pumps.
We picked up a couple of halibut fillets from a couple fishermen who were getting ready for crabbing season which starts Sunday. They were just going to use it for crab bait so they let me have a couple of really big pieces which should feed us for a couple of meals.
Went up to the Wrangell theater last night and saw the late movie "What stays in Vegas" along with most of the teenage kids in Wrangell.
Becky and Mike should be arriving pretty soon and we will head out to Roosevelt lagoon then on to Petersburg tomorrow and wait for Glen and Liz. They are staying one more day here waiting for Nichole to fly in on Sunday.
