Dutch Harbor's Deadliest Catch

 If you watch the tv reality show “Deadliest Catch”, you already know about Dutch Harbor, Alaska.

The area is actually called Unalaska.  It's just the port that is called Dutch Harbor.  Fun fact to know and tell.

There’s not much to it, really- especially not in  terms of cellular signals.  It’s clean and quiet when it’s not fishing season.

There are two museums, one native, one for WWII memorabilia.   Outside of the museums, our first bald eagles were sighted.

Laird tells me that residents of the 49th state refer to them as "Alaskan Buzzards", but I can say that I was not the only one who was impressed.....

The Great Alaskan Hotel pretty much dominates everything.

If you want free wifi, check out the Norwegian Rat.

It’s a bar/pool hall with great fresh crab legs.  I visited with the owner and his son.

Beautiful wildflowers make up for the lack of trees and bushes.

Then it was off for last minute “what did I forget” supplies.  

At Alaska Supply Center, you can buy everything from clothing...

to kayaks and refrigerators…

to marine paint, boat cleats, medicine and groceries.

The place puts Walmart to shame....

Aaaaannnnnddddd…that’s about it for Dutch Harbor.  Final real shopping stop until we hit Greenland!
