On board the Kennicott (all the ferry ships are named after Alaskan Glaciers by law), it gets a bit colder. Meghan was not a big fan of being outside on the "vessel" as it is less than 1/2 the size of the big cruise ships. She did become more comfortable over the time we were on board. The kids met a girl Meghan's age and together they wrote a letter to the Captain and were given a tour of the bridge. Meghan assumed the role of honorary captain for a moment hoping the real one would not show up.

We did see a lot of whales from the ship in the distance -- especially as we entered the inside passage Saturday morning on the ferry. We were going on a whale watching trip in Juneau Saturday evening after arriving.
