Meyers Chuck to Wrangell 5 hours, 53.7 miles

We had a lovely trip up Clarence Straight is bright sun.  Wrangell is one of our favorite destinations in Alaska.  http://wrangell.com/
They have resisted being a cruise ship destination.  There isn’t a single high end jewelry store here.  When I called the harbormaster for a slip assignment I was told to check out the new marina just south of town (Heritage Harbor).  We entered and indeed there are two 350’ docks with power and water.  There is plenty of room on the dock and several folks came out of nearby boats to catch the lines.  When we got settled we wanted to go into town.  This is when we realized that this is a great marina but it is over a mile to town.  We headed out anyway and were pleased to see things haven’t changed.  After wandering around we found our usual latte place and called for a taxi.  When Fred told the cab people that we had a dog with us they weren’t going of take us.  However, Fred assured them that we had a small dog which would sit on a lap.  It cost $9 for that mile trip back to the marina.
