Tatting

 Tatting

     I did manage to do a little tatting, between duck hunting.

Ducks

 Ducks

     I brought home 94 ducks.  Most of them where mini's and a lot of unique, mini ducks.  I found most of them, traded a few with fellow duck hunters and had gotten a few in the Duck Trading/Mailbox.  

     I added a sign with the mailbox, stating this is a trading post, not a free-for-all.  On my last cruise, most people played nicely.  This cruise, not so.  I had gotten a 5% return on the mailbox.  I moved the sign to the lid of the mailbox and people started to play nicer.  From the last cruise, I learned people steal from the mailbox, so I brought a lot of stickers to put in the box.  The stickers were a hit.  Both kids and adults loved the stickers.  

      I had found three ducks with papers.  I love the papers, telling me where the ducks came from.  I'll keep a few, unique ducks for a while, give a few to family and rehide the rest on the next cruises.

      We arrived at Victoria, Canada, the last night of the cruise.  We didn't get off the boat, just took a few pictures.

Sea

     The next day was a sea day.  I went to the morning art class and made a few origami lotus flowers.  Later in the afternoon, I started a panting of the Eldrid lighthouse.

      After we sailed away from Skegway, we passed by a lighthouse in the middle of sea.  This is Eldred lighthouse.

Skagway

 Skagway

     Skagway was our favorite town.  If it wasn't for the winters, I would move here.  This little town is nestled between high mountains.  We walked around town a little and walked to the old cemetery.
