So our two months in Alaska were up and all that remained was our 5 day ferry trip back to Bellingham.
A guy from the US coast guard station in Kodiak was going through his fishing gear, there was a lot of it. Kodiak coastguard station is the largest in the world.
Osprey perching on the ship, we also saw a peregrine flying around the ship
This is Yakutat at night, one of the stops
Lamin the guy who worked at the till on the ferry, his female colleagues thought this bear looked like him and it is a pretty good likeness!
A last look at Juneau from the ferry. Right in the middle of the picture is Mendenhall Glacier.
Nancy and Bill - Nancy was an anthropologist and had come up with a theory about japanense influences on the native american (Zuni) people of new mexico.
Ferry through the Inside Passage
Another great sunset from the back of the boat. We saw a 'super-pod' of dolphins on the last night as we came alongside Vancouver Island.
Ketchikan, the last Alaskan town on our 2 month Alaskan tour, just a quick trip off the ferry into town as they were trying to make up for time we lost due to bad weather. We went to town hoping to get a photo of 'double Leon', a pair of poodles identical to Leon from New York state but failed to find the shop we'd seen them in on the way up.

A blacksmith in ketchican selling recycled stuff, he also did viking reinactments
This made me chuckle as it is supposed to be the lowest level of threat at the ferry terminal, out of 4 or 5. I can only think that the next couple beyond this are certain attack, imminent attack and run away!
This trailer was 35 ft long, god knows what was in it
A guy we met on deck had a great money saving idea, they told him it was $750 to take the bike on the ferry so he paid someone else $50 to load it on the back of their truck - genius
This last paragraph is awe inspiring and highlights why I hated the book so much - God bless the USA!
