 I’m having trouble posting photos. Many are rotated 90 degrees.  Photos are uploaded to my Smugmug account here -

Headed to Ketchikan

 Relatively quiet seas today. We awoke to cloudy skies, about 15 miles west of Vancouver Island.  Now headed into Queen Charlotte Sound.  We should be in Alaskan waters around 2:00 am, and arrive Ketchikan 6:00 am. No excursions planned for the day.  Probably just explore the town. 

Edit -

Arrived Ketchikan around 5:30 am. The weather is pleasant, partly sunny, temps in the low 60’s.  No excursions planned for today, so we took out time, had breakfast on the ship, then got off to wander and explore. Went down to Creek Street, the old red light district that now is souvenir shops.  In fact, the whole area around the cruise docks are one giant souvenir mart.  Had a beer at the Arctic Bar, then headed back to the ship. I’m having trouble adding photos. They all are rotated 90 degrees left. I’ll try uploading them to Smugmug. 

Day One on Alaska Cruise

 On our way! We boarded around 1:00 pm and the ship departed Seattle at 3:30 pm.  Spent some of the afternoon exploring the ship. We are currently in the Strait of San Juan de Fuca. Going to turn north and head up to the west of Vancouver Island.  Hopefully the seas won’t be too rough.  A few photos from today - 

Four hours to embarkation. Next stop, Ketchikan.
