Dutch Harbor

 We just set out across the Pacific on our 6 days at sea. We left Dutch Harbor early because of an approaching storm and hopefully we will out run the high winds that are predicted.

We did have time to visit a very old Russian Orthodox Church before we left. The church is still used although they are presently without a Priest. A whiteboard positioned near the front door indicated that the church council will meet Thursday and there will be a pot luck on Friday. I am guessing the primary business of the council is how to attract someone to this location.

Supplies come to the smaller coastal cities by barge and they were taken the containers off the barge near our ship as we set out to visit the church. Our driver said that the local keep track of when the barge will arrive and the grocery store would be crowded. This would be the day to purchase fresh vegetables.
