Ketchikan Lay Day 3: Rain, Routines and a Farewell Feast

The forecast nailed it—steady rain all day. So, we stuck to the plan: stayed aboard, chipped away at boat projects, caught up on real-world work, and even knocked out a load of laundry and some route planning.

With this being our last night in Ketchikan, we decided to go out in style—Alaskan style. Dinner was at The Bush Pilot’s Lounge, perched above Tongass Narrows. It’s one of Ketchikan’s finer dining spots (relatively speaking)—no white tablecloths, but warm service and a menu worth the splurge. Desert was their twist on classic Tiramisu. They soak the lady fingers in the offical drink of Alaska, the Dark Fart, which is a shot made with equal parts Kahlua, Bailey’s Cream and Whiskey. Overall everying was delicious, a bit spendy, and a perfect way to toast our time in town.
