The excursion from Ketchikan took TSH and Diva into woods populated by a few dozen bears. Much of the walk was along an elevated boardwalk which gave excellent views of black bears fishing for salmon. They saw plenty of gulls, harbour seals, a bald eagle and a blue heron. They also visited a raptor rescue centre and the workplace of a small team of people making totem poles.
The weather was mixed sun and drizzle but it is starting to feel colder than the official 13 degrees C.
Interesting question of the day: 'Why do you let the bears eat the salmon when you need the salmon for the cannerys?' The guide pointed out that taking a fish away from a hungry bear was not advisable.
Disney Wonder was also in port.
