The ferry is in Ketchikan tonight. Ten o'clock Alaska time and it is still light out. But it does actually get dark here (not like Whitehorse).
The ferry goes through Wrangell Narrows which is 20 miles of narrow tidal waterway. In some areas Wrangell Narrows is barely wide enough to accommodate the Alaska State ferries. The "Narrows" has tides that range from a high of 19 feet to a low of -4 feet. The MV Matanuska, our ferry, when it's at capacity is 16 plus feet deep in the water. It must be quite a challenge for the crew!
