Early morning leaving Petersburg for Wrangell - the sun was just coming up around 4:30am (2009).

Aboard the Matanuska as she corrected slightly (note the tilt) to navigate through this "slalom" course in the Wrangell Narrows between Petersburg and Wrangell. This is one reason that large cruise ships cannot venture into Petersburg and Wrangell. It makes for a nice change from the bustle of downtown Juneau and Ketchikan (2009).

We arrived in Wrangell to a cool fog, which was a refreshing change from the clear skies and heat of July (2009).
