Sights along the way

We had a day and a half "at sea" between Ketchikan and Bellingham. Most protected by the inland waterways, but some areas exposed to the open ocean and a bit bumpy. Mostly another rainy day, as this area gets 160+ inches of rain and parts get over 200 inches of snow as well. Lots of ship traffic and narrowing waterways between the islands on both sides.


A rainbow over the water.


Another lighthouse.


A grain freighter.


Nice break in the clouds.


A barge filled with containers, boats, trucks, and a front-loader. It's amazing what ends up on top of the stacked containers.


The tug pulling the barge. Two heavy chains separate the tug from the barge by what appears to be ~1,000 feet.
