Skagway was a fun town, especially when there was no cruise ship in town. I hate to leave but the next stop is Juneau via the ferry. I hope we make it as they are threatening a strike.

8-2 MON.
Aboard the Columbia. We dock at Petersburg at 1 a.m. I get up for a look see. Talk to Boston chick again. At 6 a.m. we are near Wrangle, I shower and change clothes. There enough of a layover to tour town. Isn't much there. Chief Shakes little island with his grave, a tribal house and several totems. The tide is out and we are lead down to view some petroglyph. Meet fisherwoman from Oregon. I relate my My Coleen fishing story. Back on board, take a nap, read and talk to people. Too soon we pull into KETCHIKAN and I must depart. Cruise town and go to the totem museum, totem park and a couple of tourist traps. Everything is 50 percent off. 50 percent off the 500 percent marked up no doubt! I learn the Taku will be 1 a.m. late! So I go see Lethal Weapon 2, good show. Back to ferry, now due at 1:30 so I go get beers and talk to Honda guys, and wait and wait and wait. It's past 3 a.m. when we finally board. I can barely function. Alaska Marine Highway stinks!
