Ketchikan

The 15 hour ferry ride from Prince Rupert, BC to Ketchikan, AK was long but enjoyable. There was a bout a twenty mile an hour breeze which made for some choppy waves and rollers. It wasn't very pleasant out on the decks so our time was sent visiting with other passengers, reading or sleeping.

Ketchikan is a pretty little town. It looks like there are 2 to 4 cruise ships in port most of the time. For a flat lander the site of that many large ships moored at one time is impressive. We are staying at the Clover Pass RV Park. It has it's own marina area and rentals. Richard and I rented one of the rentals and went out salmon fishing while Elaine and Carolyn did laundry. we had a couple of hookups but didn't get them boated. The weather was good until about 1 PM and  it started to shower off and on. By the time we got in at 3 PM a steady rain had settled in on the area. The famous Ketchikan rain has settled in and is forecast to last until we hop on the ferry to go to Sitka. This trip will be 25 hours on the ferry. Friday morning before we went fishing I took my camera down to the shore and got photos of the Bald Eagles that were gathered on the shore.
