KETCHIKAN

Touring one of the world's largest collecton of Alaskan carvings. Interesting that after connection with the western world, this art flourished in a way not possible prior to avalability of iron tools. The photo above shows pre-western contact art.

Saw another river filled with salmon so thick I felt I could almost walk across. Amazing how the river is alive with life. We were standing on a bridge just inside the inlet as these anadromous fish first hit fresh water. They were in much better than the ones I saw earlier in the week further inland.

Tomorrow, a full day of sailing on the inside passage.
