Inside Passage on the Alaska Marine Highway!!

Friday 20th June
I slept so well I slept in until 8am!!!  Breakfast on board the ferry is OK.  None of the meals are super hot.  Terry gave me the lowdown on the cappucino machine which makes a pretty good cup.  At breakfast we meet Wolfgang & Michaela (a German couple travelling from Anchorage to Buenos Aires! 9 months!) they are on a BMW and are loaded to the max!  And Dan and Betty a couple from Iowa who are riding a HUGE Victory.  So from not seeing any females I now have half a dozen new friends.  We all share stories of wildlife sightings over many cups of coffe as there is not much else to do.  Then we break out the laptops and compare and swap photos.  A couple of games of Pass the Pigs helps the hours to pass more quickly.

We dock in Ketchikan at 5:00pm and we get an hour and a half to kill.  There's not much close by so we walk to the nearest pub for a beer and use their wifi LOL Terry phones a mate who lives in Canada.  We decide to have dinner back on the ferry because it would have been too rushed otherwise.  I choose the steak and it's the fattest chunk of meat I have ever seen and cooked pretty well.

To bed early tonight because we will be up at 1:45am to disembark. yuk!
