Ferry to Ketchikan
Tuesday, June 22
Broke camp around 8am and drove one mile to the ferry landing for the Alaska Marine Highway System 6 hour trip to Ketchikan. Alaska. We had to get there three hours ahead of sailing time due to customs, measuring the RV, check-in, staging, etc. The loading went smoothly and the trip was beautiful and uneventful. We had a pretty good breakfast on board and I got the last portion of one of my favorites, Beef Stroganoff, for lunch. We disembarked around 5pm (Alaska time - 3 hours earlier than CDT). We are now in the Clover Pass Resort & RV park on the northwest shore of the island. The RV slots are EXTREMELY narrow but, MA got me slotted in within a few minutes and we got hooked up shortly thereafter. We overlook the bay and boats cruise by a couple hundred feet away. MA tried her Silent Sam vodka this evening and it should remain silent. We went over to the resort restaurant for dinner, then watched salmon, halibut and ling Cod being unloaded and dressed out and then watched two bald eagles mate. Our waitress told us that a humpback whale visited this bay yesterday so we are hopeful of spotting a humpback or orca whale while here.
