We were in Prince Rupert on Friday, where it was blowing so hard I could hardly walk uphill! The cruise ship news was all over town with accompanying opinions about how it happened. When we arrived in Ketchikan yesterday, it was still the main topic of conversation and, of course, we saw the damaged berth. Tides are very high right now (22')and the wind was gusting at 45 mph. I saw a video of the "event". Everything looked good until seconds before the wind hit the bow of the ship. Local opinion is that the ship should have stood off from the harbor until docking conditions were more favorable. No doubt some heads will roll! lizzie
