We lucked-out! Ketchican has an average of 13-feet of rain per year.
We had full-sun, 80-degree weather today. We arrived at Orca Beach, took a high-speed dingy to Knudson Cove (rainforest) and walked approx. 1 mile into the most beautiful forests!! We saw loads of Bald Eagles, Sea Lions basking in the sun. Had a smoked salmon snack and returned to the ship 3-hours later. Great guides.Did you know that Bald Eagles mate for life. If something happens to the mate, the 'widower' waits to find another 'widower'; they never take someone elses mate. When mating, the male & female will lock talons, fly up into the air, and only unlock their talons when they have finished their mating ritual. Facinating!!
I will try to upload all my pictures on the last day of sailing....
