Among the first things you notice about Ketchikan is that it is very marine oriented. Into the highly industrial fishing environment, cruise ships bring in thousands of tourists for a day in port.
Immediately after we dropped our salmon off for smoking & canning, we headed straight for the blueberry festival. Daryl made sure our first stop was the church's bake sale, where we sampled blueberries in all sorts of ways.
Then we walked around the craft and food booths until we got hungary for hot dogs.
Our afternoon activity was ocean kayaking. We dressed up in silly suits & squeezed our stuffed bodies in kayaks and paddles around the harbor and surrounding islands.
