September 14, 2004

Today our ship lay at anchor off Icy Strait Point.  This morning we took a tender to shore and walked around the area setup for us.  It looks like it was the site of an old salmon cannery.  It has a small cannery museum and a walking park.  Bored, we make the long walk into the little fishing village of Hoonah.  We pass an RV that seems to have been converted into a house!  Only in Alaska! 

This is mostly a wasted day in my book.  I believe we are here across the strait from Glacier Bay National Park because the feds are now limiting cruise ship access to the park and we drew the short straw.  No wonder we got such a great deal on the cruise.
