Creek Street in Ketchikan
Storm! Our first storm and thank goodness we were at the dock in Ketchikan. We recorded gusts up to 38 mph in the harbor behind the breakwater last night. It was really blowin and raining hard for the first time. Gale warnings in Dixon entrance with reports of gusts up to 50 mph and wave heights of 13 feet. Good thing we don't have to cross until Sunday or Monday.
Sherm and Nancy got here right on time and brought the rain with them. this was definitely a rain gear type of day. Even so we endd up walking the town and touring the shops along with 5000 of our closest friends from two curise ships. If you want tourist jewelry, nic naks or other useless items you can find them aplenty here in Ketchikan. We found a few of these items and figured they were ideal for family gifts so our christmas gift shopping is done.
debbie, too bad you missed it but We finally got a photo of a killer whale jumping right in front of the boat and some good sized salmon jumping clear out of the water in the river.
