woke up at 3 and went on deck to see stars… weren’t any as the sky was filled with clouds… back to bed till 6:30…

today we are in Ketchikan for our last stop on the cruise… the picture shows the overcast as we embarked from the ship in the morning… by the time we were back on board the sum was shining again…

had an early breakfast and put on swim suits for our excursion – snorkelling with Snorkel Alaska…

had a great time, hardest part was getting into the wetsuit, boots and gloves… swam through a kelp forest, saw star fish (lots of them were purple and most of the others were orange), sea urchins and schools of fish – maybe 4 or 5 kinds… the guides were great and gave excellent instruction… I wasn’t cold for even a minute which was fabulous…

back to the ship to drop off our stuff, lunch and into town for some final shopping… had a snack of Alaska King Crab and checked out a few stores, then back to the ship…

followed a well-deserved nap with a bit of time in the hot tub… my arms are especially sore from the snorkelling as I was holding onto a float the whole time, lol…

got dressed and went to dinner… tonight we had steak and lobster…

another presentation of the arial act we saw a few nights ago and now in my room ready for bed… been a long day…

looking forward to the day on the ship tomorrow as we head toward Seattle, our final destination…
