Monday was a casual day. Drove around a little bit, got in some last minute sight-seeing (the above picture is from the ceremonial start of the Iditarod) and bought a swimsuit for myself and for Joan. Then it was off to the airport to return said car and wait for Joan to get there.

 

There were issues with her travel. Her plane was delayed from Vegas, so she missed her original connection in Seattle, which meant she was going to be very late getting in to Anchorage. So there was a fear of missing the boat. Fortunately, that fear was allayed because the very narrow tunnel, which is the only way to get to the dock, was closed for several hours due to an electrical problem. So even though she was late getting in, we still had to wait a bit before getting to the boat itself.
