Skagway

We were all awake at 4:00 a.m. to get ready for our ferry ride at 7:00 a.m.  I was the first car in line, and at about 6:00, they had me load onto the ferry.  I watched as all of the cars came down into the boat, not thinking about the fact that it was low tide.  Suddenly I looked up to see a fifth-wheel Montana slowly backing down the ramp into the small quarters.  That was Katie!  I watched as the people directing her had her move back and forth, they put blocks underneath her back wheels, and they slowly, slowly, ever so slowly, had her back right down in place.  My blood pressure was so high watching it, but she did it!  

Don and Bart were not far behind her,

and within an hour we were on our way to Skagway.  The ferry was a new one and very nice, but we only had an hour before we were pulling into the Skagway harbor next to several cruise ships.

We were at our RV spot by 9:00, went into Skagway for a few hours, and then we boarded the Never Monday boat for a fishing/sightseeing trip.

The fishing wasn't great, and since it was catch/release that was ok.  But the sightseeing was awesome.  We mostly saw eagles, and our captain, Ken, had some tricks up his sleeve.  He has named the eagles Archie and Edith, Bonnie and Clyde, and Fred and Wilma, and he throws them a frozen herring that they fish out of the water.  We had a great time watching the show!!!
