What is that big ship on dry land in the middle of town? Star of Kodiak is an active cannery. Fun town to walk around. Kodiak Maritime Museum is a good visit.

We did not get to experience Kodiak. There was a fall Gulf of Alaska storm that had rocked our ship two days prior to when we were to visit this port. Unfortunately, the storm hung around for several days, and our ship’s Captain had to make the difficult decision not to go to Kodiak. There is a narrow entrance to the Kodiak harbor, and with the very high winds the storm was producing it was unsafe for us to visit Kodiak. We experienced this same storm two days earlier and everyone, while disappointed, did not want to experience it again. I hope to get to Kodiak in the future to see and experience the history this island has experienced.

It rained, but the 10 of us rented a van and toured the island on our own time... beautiful scenery. If we hadn’t done this, there didn’t appear to be much to do....
