It drizzled a bit at our first stop, but Ketchikan is a temperate rainforest, so we couldn't complain.
The river was jam packed with salmon that had been waiting for the rain to raise the river enough for them to get upstream to spawn, and the roads and wooden walkways were packed with tourists from at least 4 different cruise ships.
We saw two bald eagles! Joel saw the first one as it landed in a tree, and we watched it preen its tail feathers.
The other one was perched on a marina lamppost:
After Ketchikan the ship passed through a feeding ground for humpbacks, and we saw many individual whales and mother-baby pairs as the sun set.
