I thought Sitka was the most picturesque of the towns we visited - the setting is breathtaking and there doesn’t seem to be much industry to spoil the looks of the waterfront.
Cruise ships can’t anchor at the docks in Sitka so the Spirit was anchored out in the bay and we went back and forth on little boats called "tenders."
Sitka was the capital for the Russians when they owned Alaska and still has quite a bit of Russian influence. This church is the Russian Orthodox church in town and has one of the old onion domes on part of the building.
After we left Sitka, we headed out into the open ocean where there was much more motion, even on this large a ship. Fortunately, we had seasickness patches so haven’t been affected. In fact, it was the best night’s sleep - just like rocking in a cradle!
