Today was our last Alaska port as we head south to Vancouver. We arrived late morning at a pier a fair distance from town, but the town offers a free shuttle service - got to get those cruisers to the shops so they can spend their money!
Mary did some shopping today, then returned to the ship while Katie and I did a zip line excursion. The weather did not cooperate very well as there was a light rain all day.

The course was very good with 7 lines and 3 bridges, all while over 70' in the air! The zipline runs faster in the rain so we hit a good day for hitting top speeds. The longest line was 750' long and riders hit speeds of close to 30 mph! With these speeds, stopping at the end of each segment proved to be a challenge. Also I had to frequently clear my glasses as they picked up a lot of rain during each transit. In the end, we both had a very good time.
Here we are all decked out for doing the course:

Not wearing the Aussie Hat today I see...lol. Love the picture of the city, great shot! Sounds like you all have had a ball, but now its time to come home to the heat! Suppose to be 83 for the high tomorrow. Hope you and Melissa are feeling better. Sylvia
Sylvia , I bet the Aussie hat is tucked away after the last near loss ha . I agree , Ketchikan looks like a lovely town and you and Katie are brave doing that zip-line :-). It sounds like its hot at home Bill , enjoy the rest of your cruise . Thanks for all the pictures that Mary and you took . Pat
