Look at #12 https://www.nps.gov/katm/learn/photosmultimedia/sockeye-salmon-frequently-asked-questions.htm#12 I remember last Summer that the sockeyes that my Nephew caught had flesh that had a reddish tint. I recently bought a can of sockeye salmon and the fish also had a reddish tint. (And was delicious.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Anchorage residing Nephew keeps telling me that Southeast gets much rain. But, it does seem to me that Juneau has had more than its share of rain this year.

That pare of Alaska is a Temperate rain forest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Alaska Scroll down to Ecology section to read about it. They do get lots of rain.

tamsno Posted August 27, 2020 #163 Share Posted August 27, 2020 August 26, 2015. With family on Princess but couldn’t resist this pic. Amsterdam or Rotterdam?

The Amsterdam was in Alaska in 2015......along with the Noordam, Volendam, Oosterdam, Zaandam, Westerdam, and Statendam. The Rotterdam was in Europe. Interesting angle on the picture. Where was the Princess ship? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The itinerary included Sitka, Juneau, Ketchikan, Hubbard Glacier and Victoria . The cruise would have included a beautiful sail in among the lovely islands around Sitka and taking a tender right into the center of town.
