Beautiful mountains of the Alaska Inside Passage |
Snow Removal Train
This is the giant snow blower train car that was used on the
White Pass and Yukon Railway. |
Sitka's Outer
Islands
Sitka and the Amsterdam is just visible beyond the
islands. |

Catching Spawning Salmon
Alaskan fishermen netting spawning salmon as the fish make
their way up the falls to the freshwater lake beyond. |
Sitka's Sea Plane Base
We just loved the ever-present sea planes. |
Allen Marine's
Catamaran
We took two tours aboard catamarans built by Allen Marine in
Sitka. Great boats! |

Sitka's Harbor
Looking across one of Sitka's boat harbors, the
Norwegian Star is anchored in the distance. |
Mike in Ketchikan
We walked up Married Man's Trail in Ketchikan - a
combination of stairway and trail that led up a hill
overlooking the town. |
Rough Day at Sea
Having our cabin on the 10th deck meant that we lost some
perspective on what we were seeing. These seas were
10-12 feet high. |

Spawning Salmon
All the dark blobs in the water are spawning salmon.
Everywhere we went the salmon were running. |
Waterfall and Lake
Outside of Ketchikan we drove the adventure carts up to this
lake and to the base of the falls. |
Boarding the
Norwegian Star
For the most part we were able to avoid longs lines of
passengers waiting to get back aboard the ship. The
key was to arrive before the tour busses deposited too many
people. |
