Ketchikan

We had a leisurely morning with coffee in the room and breakfast at O'Sheehan's. We then headed down to the gift shop, as JC saw a tote and duffel that intrigued her. After procuring those and a couple of on-sale t-shirts, we went back to the room to discover that our much-anticipated excursion was cancelled. An hour and a half before it was scheduled. We high-tailed it to the excursion desk and found a substitute that looked good: Wilderness Exploration and Crab Feast.

Approaching Ketchikan we saw lots of little islands with houses. The common boats right now appear to be single-motor inflatables.

We boarded a bus for a ride through Ketchikan to the George Inlet Lodge where we boarded boats for a nature ride. We saw a lot of eagles. We stopped to pull up a crab pot. It had a bunch of Dungeness Crabs. We learned about the crabs, got to hold them, and I tossed one back in the water. The vendor has an ecotourism license, so all the crabs need to be tossed back.

Returned to the lodge for LOTS of crab. So good! Omigosh! And cheesecake.

Bused back to the ship where we were greeted with hot chocolate. Yum. The hits just keep on coming.

On return to port, we entered the building with souvenirs and crafts. One that caught our eye was Ketchi-Candies-- a company run by KIDS! We got some truffle squares and a HUGE krispie treat.

Dinner- Cagney's!Weiterlesen
