Day 21
Back on the ferry, checked in at 8:00am, departed for Wrangell at 10:00am on the MV Columbia.
The Solarium, an open area on the back of the vessel was a happening place - all kinds of tents and sleeping bags set up in the designated areas and people were hanging out enjoying the warm sunshine and soft sea breeze.
We sat there for awhile, then we had some soup in the cafeteria plus some sandwiches we had brought (good old p b and j has been a diet staple for us). After lunch, Carol took a nap in the quiet, comfy forward observation lounge and Michael rested a bit too, but he continued to look out the window and he was rewarded with the sight of a humpback whale.
We arrived in Wrangell at 3:30 pm, set up camp, had dinner, drove around a bit them retired for the night.
