shadowmeboy Posted November 21, 2023 Author #206 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Sorry All! Life has been crazy busy the last few days. I have barely had a few minutes to just sit and relax, yet alone work on the review. -- Day 8 - July 7th, 2023 Ketchikan, Alaska Daily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted November 21, 2023 Author #207 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I get out to the normal spot, the Great Outdoors. We are sailing south on the east side of Prince of Wales Island. pano Beautiful day! The sun made for very complex picture edits though. I could tell we were getting closer to Ketchikan as the number of boats had increased exponentially. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowmeboy Posted November 21, 2023 Author #211 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Port photo We got to say hi to a few of the crew from the Encore that were on the boat when we sailed last December.

shadowmeboy Posted November 22, 2023 Author #212 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Heading into the Mill at Ward Cove We got on the downtown shuttle. The bus was full of people from the Encore as our fellow shipmates were still having breakfast. The shuttle drops you off near berth 4 in Ketchikan. Note: Ketchikan has shuttles that you can catch here that take you into downtown. We decided to walk off the giant breakfast we were heading to eat! Spectacular Day in Ketchikan! Note there is a bakery right next to the cannabis shop. We finally made it to Pioneer Cafe! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted November 22, 2023 Author #213 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Pioneer Cafe is your quintessential greasy spoon! Make sure to get some reindeer sausage! Hamburger Steak and eggs Biscuits and gravy with a side of Rudolph! After breakfast, it was time to walk around Ketchikan some more!

shadowmeboy Posted November 22, 2023 Author #218 Share Posted November 22, 2023 This is a scavenger hunt page the Discovery center has for kids. We borrowed this from a kid to take the picture. What a cool idea! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted November 22, 2023 Author #219 Share Posted November 22, 2023 These were made by a local school group. They are wire salmon. The Discovery Center costs about $5 per person. If you have a National Parks Interagency Pass, you can use this for your admission to the discovery center. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted November 22, 2023 Author #220 Share Posted November 22, 2023 After the Discovery Center, we hit the tourist shops along the berths. Ketchikan is a easily walkable city. Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show is always a fun time. If you haven't done it, do it once. We chuckled at this shirt! No liquid sunshine on this day! We stopped at a local coffee shop along the road, this mural was on the wall. Susan got a Dirty Chai and I got a Mocha! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted November 22, 2023 Author #221 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Excursion - I highly recommend this excursion!

You’ve given me lots of places to check out next time we are in Ketchikan. On Encore in August we did the Bering Sea Crab Fisherman’s tour and I agree it was excellent. We hope to be on the Joy in 2025 on a 10 night Alaska sailing where the port stops are much much longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted November 22, 2023 Author #225 Share Posted November 22, 2023 It was warm, so we hit the pool! After the pool it was time to get ready for pictures and dinner. After pictures, it was time for Los Lobos! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
