June 22 - Ketchikan

We sailed into Ketchikan under dark and heavy skies, sometimes including sprinkles. Since I didn't need to be on shore immediately, and not wanting to fight the crowds of folks who thought they did, I repaired to the upper deck for a few shots of the city.

We were the third ship in port today. Already berthed as we arrived were the Norwegian Star and the Diamond Princess, seen here behind our ship.

This shot was made from the upper observation deck, looking south. When we leave later this afternoon, we will sail out the inlet seen directly above the end of the pier. There will soon be a fourth ship in port, docked just ahead of ours.

A shot of folks leaving the ship for their shopping trips ashore. One lady made a joking comment about buying "jewelry and tee shirts" at every port...more than a little truth to her humor.
