Misty Fjords

Took a big, fast boat into the Misty Fjords today.  Another uncanny, hot, clear day in Alaska.  Too hot, which is strange to say.  These fjords are a little under two hours via boat the docks.  On the way we saw humpbacks on two separate occasions, with one of them breaching.  

9,000 cruise ship passengers on four boats, swelling the Ketchikan population by 200% daily.
