22 June 2018 Ferry to Ketchikan

Our XP tucked into the hold of the Malaspina Ferry to Ketchikan

22 June 2018.  Prince Rupert.

It was drizzling rain in Prince Rupert this morning, spent some time wandering the town.  Then headed to the Ferry.  You need to arrive at the Ferry at least three hours ahead of departure, it is a slow process getting through the measuring and jig-saw puzzle assembly-ing of all the various shapes and sizes of rigs.  But they got us on board and we found a place on the solarium level to hang out.  Seven hours later we were arriving in Ketchikan Alaska.  Here are some shots of the ferry ride.

We sat in the solarium most of the way. Yes, they have inside seating, too

This is the snow covered peak of Tamgas Mountain on Annette Island,  just southwest of Ketchikan.

We watched a beautiful sunset for almost an hour – here are three shots that we took.

It was still light at 1100pm when we set up camp for the night.
