Ketchikan Alaska

We were up before 5:30am and watched us coming into port.

​It was very foggy all the way in to dock.

Breakfast and then on shore to meet our excursion "misty fjords ".   

Sunrise is about 4:30am and sunset after 10pm. Sleeping is only saved by having black out curtains.

​As we got to the excursion everything cleared.

​We were on a fairly large boat that took us to a fjord.

Mistyfjords National monument was impressive with many Yosemite like mountains.

On our return, we saw harbor seals.

We had a choice of Chowder or Chili for lunch

Interesting.. We started out with fog and mist but got into the fjords and it was clear skies.

I was standing on the bridge speaking with the captain.  This is why there is an odd color to the pictures.  It was interesting talking about the area with him.

When we got back to the ship, Betty went to her room to rest. Shawna and I went to see Creek Street.  Last time we were in Ketchikan, we hiked the trail up Deer Mountain. We didn't have time to see any of the town. On this trip, we did see some salmon in the creek.

Back to the ship before all-board at 2:30pm.

Tonight, we went to the mainstage to hear the group, Major Fourth, sing.  We all enjoyed the music very much.

Later, we were off to hear some music at billboard onboard.   Great as always.
