Ketchikan, Wragnell and Petersburg

After a surprisingly good night’s sleep on the ferry floor we woke to a cold morning. Our first port of call on this voyage was Ketchikan, arriving before breakfast.

There were 2 big cruise ships in the cruise dock but the ferry terminal was north of town. Once docked, we walked off and headed to the supermarket. We got a few supplies and got back on board for breakfast. The ferry departed promptly. It’s not like a cruise where they check everyone is aboard. They leave when it’s time to leave and you need to be on the ship.

The voyage continued up the inside passage, the weather being variable with some rain as we neared Wragnell. We stayed on board at Wragnell. Next we headed for Petersburg through some narrow channels. No cruise ships come this way, they wouldn’t fit.

By early evening we docked in Petersburg. We walked off to stretch our legs but nothing to see as the dock is away from the town.

We set office north again, had our microwave dinner and then went to the bar for a couple of drinks before bed.Read more
