After our somewhat rough night, we arrived in the fishing village of Cordova. After breakfast some locals from the Cultural Centre came aboard to give us a presentation showing native costume and dance. The costumes were simply beautiful. We were told we could purchase items from the centre during our day there.
Rainy day unfortunately but we bravely rugged up and carrying a Cruise West umbrella we ventured up the very steep ramp at the end of the jetty to explore.
The lovely native costume pieces were priced well out of our reach. Just as well as Blair would not have been impressed if I came home with an otter skin hat. (They were so soft) I did buy a little angel dressed in native gear for my Christmas tree. $25...bargain.
A shop in the town had some beautiful clothing trimmed in braid designed by a local artist....I bought a hat...red to match my coat...so I can wear that in rainy weather when we walk girls!
We went back to the boat for bbq lunch...the salmon was delish.
Then a little more walking around town trying to dodge the heavier rain.
We sailed off again around 6pm for more exciting scenery.
Now what did we spot?
Oh yes, a family of 5 Orcas (includng baby) humpback whales, harbor porpoise, and lots of sea otters. And for bird lovers, we spotted several bald eagles.
We were warned we might be in for another rough night as we had to cross Prince William Sound again but it was smooth sailing and we slept very well.
