Sitka

We are settling into Sitka life nicely.  We joined a water aerobics class three times a week.  And a local gym.  The gym used to be part of the college here before it closed down.  So has a nice basketball court.  Mark figures it has been about thirty years since he shot baskets but had fun trying to make it through the hoop.

There always seems to be something happening.  Even walking to our boat we have to pass the fishing fleet and they are often selling shrimps or crabs.  We got these two tasty ones for ten bucks a piece.  They are Dungeness Crab which are some of the smaller crabs in Alaska but they sure dwarf the Sri Lankan crabs we used to get in Singapore and have a lot of meat on them.  It is hard to tell the size from the picture but remember how large Mark's hands are when you try to get some kind of scale.  The big thing is we could only fit one at a time into our huge wok.
