ALASKA AT EIGHTY - DAY 7

With the ferry under way, clouds and fog are now what we see all day. Not noticing a big temperature drop yet.

Life here is not totally colorless, but pretty much so. Here are some photos of the MS Columbia ferry in B&W.

The Solarium deck is very popular, where those of us cabin-less seek a lounge chair. You have to get here fast as the chair are quickly claimed. Since motorcycles were the last to roll on, all these chairs were taken by the time we could get to the deck. Thus I was searching the ship for a couch or reclining chair. Sleeping on the deck itself is seen everywhere, but that is not so desirable at 80.







The people one meets of this ferry are very interesting. Many retirees, former AMHS employees. All with interesting life experiences, all at home with the sea and the ruggedness of life in Alaska.

Two more days till Haines.
