6/17 Ketchikan

We had a later breakfast this morning as we didn’t dock in Ketchikan until 9:30.  We decided at the last minute to take a tour called Lighthouse, Totems, and Eagles.  It was very good – a boat trip out on the water where we saw lots of eagle nests, quite a number of eagles both flying and in the nests.  We passed Totem state park with a collection of totem poles.  We saw a few seals – one was quite close hauled up on the rocks.  We went out to a lighthouse on a small island and cruised past.  On the way back, we saw more seals, a mink and a bear on the shore – a very good trip, indeed!  We came back to the dock and walked around town poking into a few shops and then got back on board just in time for dinner.  We were entertained by the comic/magician again and again had some good laughs and enjoyed the music.  Tonight we have to move our clocks forward an hour as we will be crossing from Alaska into Canada during the night.
