9/11/12 icy straight point, hoonah ak

Nothing planned today so got of the ship on tender around 930 am and head to the local town. This stop is not cruise owned but very much in their best interest and not much around. This is a old cannery converted to a cruise port with shops. The town is 1 mile away so got on a shuttle to town to see what was there and get away from the port area. Well this is a old fishing town and not much there either some homes and grocery and hardware store. So we turned around and walked back the mile on a nice concrete path. Checked out some stores in the cannery bought a couple things of art and went on the nature hike that was there. This was a .6 mile loop through the woods and bracket and back. Was nice walk and back to the ship around 1p for lunch and more relaxation in pool. Oh while eating saw some humpback whales right near the ship. Tomorrow is Ketchikan and not much else planned. This vacation is winding down fast.
