| Spoiler: We saw a bear swim. From our dinghies. |
Another sunny day! When I talk with people about cruising in Southeast Alaska, the weather is always a big concern. This is a rainy place—Ketchikan gets more rain in its driest month than Seattle gets in its wettest month. So far, though, we've only had a couple rainy days.

| Stormy at anchor. What a place, what a day! |
Given the magnificent weather, we all piled in our dinghies for a tour of Ford's Terror. We saw the waterfalls and played in the rapids.
 |
| Dinghy tour! |
 |
| This waterfall looks tiny from a distance. Up close, it's giant. |
The highlight of the dinghy tour were two brown bears.
 |
| The first brown bear |
 |
| Dinghies must be scary! He ran away after standing up and looking at us. |
The other brown bear was even better. We watched as it shimmied down to the water, the began swimming through our group of dinghies.
|
| "Honey, are we a little close?" |
 |
| It kept swimming... |
 |
| Time to go ashore... |
 |
| Shaking off water... |
 |
| Hmm...what's for lunch? |
Yep, Ford's Terror is my favorite anchorage.
Tomorrow we'll head for Dawes Glacier, then Tracy Arm Cove for the night.
