Juneau and Ketchikan


May 2, 2016

Weather did not improve for Juneau and
Ketchikan and since we had been here twice
before and seen the area (especially from the air)
we stayed aboard ship.

 

 

Glacier Bay






Glacier Bay


Apr 30

Our cruising in Glacier Bay was quite different
from 2010 when we had a beautiful day. It was
interesting however because we not only had
rain but snow.

We had several Forest Rangers aboard who
gave onboard commentary and we had two
excellent guest speakers.

Kodiak, Alaska






Kodiak, Alaska


Apr 28

After leaving Kushiro we traveled six days
across the north Pacific and Bering Straits
through seven time zones to Kodiak, Alaska.

Fortunately after the first night we moved
back the clock during the day. It has messed
us up some but not nearly as much as moving
it back at night for six nights in a row probably
would have.

Kodiak was nice. We visited a wildlife museum,
an Alutiiq museum and a Russian Orthodox Church.
 
This is Holy Week in the Orthodox Church. The
Priest told us the Orthodox calendar is different
from ours but it is also variable and sometimes
overlap.
