Ketchikan - Part 1 - Town & Kayaking

The plane arrives...

  

Closer...

 

Standing on the float about to board...

After an incredibly smooth take off, we're up above the beautiful Misty Fjords, looking less than misty...



Mountain lake and outflow stream cascading down...


 

We land in a remote fjord to stretch our legs and appreciate the beauty, the silence, the seals and the flies... 

 

Miche re-boards...

 


Skirting close the sides...

Our shadow beneath us...

 

Eddystone Rock... 


 
As we land we pass our ship...





The local Pilot leaves...





First towel creation left by the cabin crew... the Scorpion...





Miche deep in thought...





Up to the Crow's Nest for liqueur coffees and beautiful sunsets...





Another busy night in the Nest...
