14 June 2022: Approaching Ketchikan Alaska


Ahhhh, the sunset.  The ship has not stopped since we started last night at dinner.  We have not stopped either.  We had high tea at the Winter Garden where we met with Mark and Mary who had  a son who went to JMU where Leslie taught.  they lived in Broward county and she had worked for P&G.  We gave them the Leip Travel Philosophy in a nutshell.  We then went to the Port Talk about Ketchikan and then back to our cabin with Mike and Deb for Happy Hour on our deck.  We broke out the binoculars hoping to see a bear or two but no luck.  Then we went to Manfredi's for dinner.  A great meal with great folks.  Upon our return to the cabin we were treated to a incredible sunset.


It is a frenzy of Tea brewing and delivery


The Wintergarden's distinctive roof


So many treats




Port Talk for all of us


Looking for Bears!


Not here!


We ran into this  big log and are still afloat


Someone drew a line in the water



Catching the sunset light


Thousands of Islands


Two turtle islands


Setting up for a good sunset


Delivering a great one


The contrail is leaving a shadow


10 PM and the sun is just now setting


Gone!



Tomorrow is another day!
