Day Three-Alaska

We are finally here after a night. a  day and another night of cruising!
Alaska reminds me of Iceland except for the abundance of trees.
Seas are a little rougher out in the open sea traveling to Alaska
Beautiful morning view of Alaska in the distance as we travel north.
We had fog several days, not unusual for the sea I suppose 
At last in Ketchikan on land in Alaska to explore.
