Abandoned cruise ship!!
Bahamas Celebration in Freeport, Bahamas on 11/28/14.
Narrated by yours truly.
Story for the hearing impaired;
The ship was leaving port during a storm and refused to accept the local pilot. Pilots are brought on board most ships entering into or leaving ports because they know the exact path into and out of the port where the ships are able to travel without catching on the bottom. See where this is going?
Because the captain refused the pilot, he ran aground as he was taking the ship out of the port, and this ripped a large hole in the bottom of the boat. The ship was forced to return to port and was siting there empty when we were there for our cruise (Carnival).
This ship was a daily transport from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas, and a very large source of day-tourism income for the Bahamas.
We were told the story by a local taxi driver.

Being one of the tallest mountains in the world, Denali is inaccessible to all but the hardiest of climbers. But with a little help from a flight service, tourists can experience the scope, beauty, and sheer magnitude of this natural monument, and even land to walk in its shadow.
Kenai Fjords Ressurection bay tour with Kenai Fjords Tours
During our stay in Seward, we were lucky enough to get out on the bay via Kenai Fjords tours. We did the Resurrection Bay Tour, and loved all the wildlife and whales we got to see..
Kenai Fjords Resurrection Bay Tour
Step aboard the boat for a 4 ½ hour wildlife and glacier cruise. Watch for humpback whales, sea otters, puffins, orcas and bald eagles. Then head to Fox Island to enjoy a buffet of prime rib, wild Alaska salmon, mashed potatoes, salad and rolls. As you board the boat for more wildlife viewing you will smell the aroma of the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies that will soon be your desert.
Things to know:
• Located in Seward Alaska.
• You can purchase a souvenir cup and get free refills all day on the boat of coffee, tea, soda, water cocoa and apple cider.
• There are plenty of seats inside and out and you're free to move around the boat.
• There is a large parking area available with plenty of room for RVs.
• A shuttle will bring you to and from the parking lot.
• Park rangers are present on the boat with Jr. Ranger books for children.
•
Even on a cold rainy day, like the one we had on our tour, it is still a memorable experience. You will see and learn about the local wildlife and the surrounding area. It is a great trip for kids and adult and a highlight of our trip to Alaska.

20150803-4: Day 57 & 58, Kennicott/Yakutat Movie & Slideshow
We boarded the Kennicott late in the evening, around 11pm, on the 3rd of August, 2015, day 57 of our travels.
Tuesday, the 4th of August 2015, day 58 of our travels finds us aboard the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry M/V Kennicott on the 2nd day of our 5-day voyage from Whittier, AK to Bellingham Washington, arriving on the 8th of August 2015, day 62 of our travels. We opted for this route home rather than repeating the route we travelled from Colorado to Alaska over the Alcan Highway.
I've partitioned our Alaska experience from the 8th of June through the 13th of August, 2015 over several individual segments.
This segment includes both video and a still photo slideshow of events covering the last hours of day 1 as well as all of day 2 of our trip from Whittier, AK to Yakutat, AK aboard the AMH Ferry M/V Kennicott from 3 August through 4 August, 2015.
Having departed Whittier, AK at 11:45pm on the 3rd of August, we docked at Yakutat, AK around 6pm on the evening of 4 August, 2015. We would spend the next 3 hours at Yakutat, during which time we and our dogs disembarked and walked along one of the
major roads in Yakutat soaking in the warm air and sunshine, taking videos and still photos of everything within eyesight!
Departure was scheduled for 9pm that evening. We returned to the boat early to get the dogs settled back in the RV, and to take up positions on one of the upper decks where we could watch and record the events of casting off the lines and departing for our next destination, Juneau, AK.
The fog began to set in prior to our departure, becoming notable shortly after 8pm. We set sail shortly after 9pm with visibility seemingly less than a quarter mile!
Both video and photos include elements of life aboard the Kennicott including major attractions aboard the boat...the Lounge, Café, Child Play Area, Viewing Areas, and yes...the Solarium. The Solarium is an enclosed deck area where travelers opt to pitch a tent on the floor, spread out a bedroll on a deck chair, or to simply exist during the voyage to their final destination in lieu of purchasing cabin space.
The Kennicott is not a luxury cruise ship. It is a hybrid of sorts, providing passenger taxi service between ports from Dutch Harbor, AK to Bellingham, WA; providing a means to transport vehicles from bicycles and motorcycles to large trucks, motor homes, RVs of all sizes, cars, etc. between each of these ports; provides passenger comforts including 2 & 4 berth cabins, dinning, lounge, theater, and places to stretch out, relax, and take in the view from weather-protected inside areas providing picture window views of the outside. The dress is strictly informal...no tuxedos here! It is indeed travel suitable for the Alaskan environment, serving land-locked communities throughout the Alaskan coastline.
Included in this presentation is the experience one endures taking care of pets (dogs, cats, etc.) during the voyage. Pets are only allowed on the car deck, in a cage or other confined area (your car, trailer, RV, etc.). We train our dogs to NOT mess on the floor...and yet this is the modus operandi employed to provide the opportunity for dogs to eliminate their waste...they are walked along an area on the car deck designated as the dog walking area...where they can relieve themselves. It took our dogs over 2 days before they would do so. There are at least 3 opportunities throughout each day where one is allowed to access the car deck and exercise their dogs in the designated area, as well as those times when we are docked at a port of call when we can bring our pets with us ashore.
The voyage aboard the Kennicott overall was pleasant, utilitarian, and cut hundreds (if not thousands) of miles off our return trip back home from Alaska. The crew was polite, experienced, and helpful at all times.
A word of caution: if you are a spontaneous traveler as we were, i.e., not having booked passage aboard a vehicle such as the AMH's Ferries a year in advance, your chances of gaining access on a whim to a Ferry is very chancy...and often depends upon someone else cancelling their trip in order to provide for you passage aboard the Ferries. Check with travel agencies for Ferry passage and wait until the final bookings are in...maybe you
too can travel the Marine Highway in a spontaneous spur of the moment effort...as we did!
