We did anchor in the channel a little south of town. During breakfast we motored into port and tied up at one of the piers. Petersburg was founded by Norwegians as a fishing port which still operates today. There are two canning facilities at the docks. We walked to the Sons of Norway Hall to be treated to some Norwegian pastries and a dance recital put on by some local 12-13 year old girls and boys.
Today is pretty much a free day so I spent the morning walking around town ending up at the library where I was able to check and respond to a few emails. I was back on the ship for lunch but decided not to eat lunch as I decided that at least once on this trip I wanted to go to dinner actually being hungry. The food has been great.
At 2 PM there was an option for a short hike. We were transported across the channel in the ship's Zodiac for what turned out to be a 1 1/2 mile stroll through a wetland area. Virtually the entire trail was boardwalk. It certainly was not strenuous but the walk sure felt good.
I am now back at the library so I can post this while we are in town.
Glad you got a little walking in, even if it wasn't as strenuous as you'd like. What a wonderful adventure you're having! Love it!
