This morning I woke to a pink sky. The old saying Red sky at night a sailor’s deligh; Red sky in the morning sailors take warning did not hold true. The day turned out to be quite sunny but brisk.
Ketchikan was a tender port for us since two other Princess ships, the Discovery and the Grand, both were docked. Carnival and Holland America also were docked. I guess we drew the short straw.
I decided to do laundry in the morning and get a tender after I was finished. One of the advantages of Princess cruises is that their ships have a small laundry facility on each deck.
Usually, around mid-morning, you can hop on a tender without a ticket. That was not the case. We finally got our ticket, but our number wasn’t called until 1 p.m., and we had to be back by 5:30. I just didn’t want to deal with the lines to get back on a return tender, so we stayed on the ship.
We walked around the ship, had lunch, and read our books on the balcony.
We met with friends for coffee and then ate dinner with some new acquaintances. Afterward, we watched an Illusionist Elliott Hunter who was very good.
Tonight the skies are clear. Maybe a chance for Northern Lights. I will keep my fingers crossed.
Tomorrow we are in Prince Rupert in Canada for a short stay!
