Snorkelling in Alaksa - well who would have thought it would be so great!

A bit apprehensive as we set off through a rainy but pretty Ketchikan. Out of the 3 ships (4,000 people ) there were only 15 people who thought this might be a good idea - not reassuring!

We donned thick, thick wet suits, hoods, boots and gloves and off we went. It was suprisingly warm. Hard to show in the photos but it was full of life. Sea urchins, halibut, crabs and vast fields of beautiful sea grasses and kelp flowing in the tide. Roger saw a 4ft octopus ( mmm probably a bit glad I didn't!).

Amazing to get out and see the gorgeous snow capped mountains. If you ever get a chance go do it!!!!
