Weather Delay: Part 2

The winds have yet to let up so once again the two cruise ships that were supposed to dock today have decided to pass us by. But today I remembered that even though I don't have my camera cord, I can at least get a few photos with my phone to put up on here.
Another thing, today we had a high tide of about 18 feet. Which is not abnormal for K-town, but with the storm surge the water ended up getting pretty high. I was walking around downtown during that time and was able to catch some pretty cool shots of Creek Street, a boardwalk built up over Ketchikan Creek. I'm not really sure when the storm is supposed to let up, but if it keeps going on like this I might not be able to work again for the rest of the week. That is ok with me, I'll just continue wandering the island somewhat aimlessly while enjoying the fall rains. When the wind is blowing 50 mph, the rain is coming down in sheets, and the temperature is in the mid 50's it makes you appreciate hot cocoa that much more. Something I've been missing since the winter went away. But enough of these words. PICTURES!

Doesn't look so bad from up here.

Fish! Fish! Fish!

High tide under Creek Street.

Did I mention the tide was really high?

Twas breezy.

I like my rain boots.
