Alaska-Kodiak 8/8/18

Docked early at tiny Kodiak.  Once again we were greeted by beautiful, albeit cold and windy sunshine.  A fishing town on the famous Kodiak Island (home to 3,000 Kodiak bears and 7,000 people) the town has little to offer Cruise ship visitors.  Unless you’re desperate to see more bears, whales or eagles, you can safely give it a miss.

We did visit a small, interesting Native Museum which contained some local artefacts including a beautiful bride’s headdress and a Kayak skeleton clearly showing the clever engineering that went into the boat design.

Bridal headdress, Kodiak 

Nearby was a pretty Russian Orthodox Church, left over from when this was Russian territory.

Set sail after lunch for Sitka.
