May 18, 2014, 4.14pm Alaskan time
We just took off from the port of Wrangell, just another small town on our way to Juneau. This one doesn't have a cruise ship terminal, so it looked much more simple than the Ketchikan. We only had 1 hour there (for the vessel and 30 minutes for passengers to go out).
After about 15 minutes passed from taking off suddenly a very strong wind started. We anyway were informed already by the locals, that we are exceptionally lucky to have that good weather throughout our trip. Somebody told us how he was going the same way when it was raining cats and dogs, so that everybody at the deck had to move to the further most wall of the Solarium and still got wet. Now I observe safely from our "bedroom" how the tents are being moved quite violently by the wind. Some of them are attached to the floor with the tape, but there is one right before us, which is not and it really looks like it's going to fly away. IT's inhabitants sit inside and look a little bit nervous.
