some cruise ships should dot south east Alaska coast line in winter times. should be deep discounts. ability to spread economic wealth on off seasons low peak levels in destinations of tours. yes indeed.

What happens when the cruise ship breaks loose from the mooring lines in the winter? I can just see one of them washed ashore over on Pennock. Maybe refloat it at high tide?

Antarctic and Arctic cold climate cruises it has. Alaska winters use of Tug Boats and learning new ways technology to bring in mooring lines of cruise ships in bitter cold temperatures. we know people love to work with Alaska Dangerous Jobs. it will build character and reputation cash flow into isolated south east Alaska. Winter cruise trips in Alaska. Winter ocean swells and high cold winds. yes indeed.

OK, now I have to answer this one. Bob, SE Alaska isn't depressed. If you want depressed, go to SW Alaska. Bethel, Dillingham Pribilofs, St. Lawrence Island, Kotzebue. Those areas are depressed. Add in the fact that the demand for the cruise vessels is diminished by an order of magnitude. You might get one cruise a year into SE Alaska, but the cold temps and wet climate limit the customer base. The lowered clouds limit mountain and glacier viewing. The stores in SE are not going to remain open for a possibiity of 5,000 or so tourists who may or may not stop in to see their shops. When you have 30,000 a day in Juneau and 15-20 thousand in Sitka and Haines, you can afford to have shops open 7 days a week. People don't usually come here in winter to see winter, per se. They want to see Hawaii and San Diego, Brownsville or the Caribbean. They have enough winter at home. Above the Arctic Circle, there are primarily Japanese tourists there to see the Northern Lights, but the average American won't sacrifice his hard earned 2 weeks to possibly get a glimpse of the aurora. Economics drives employment in the tourist industry. Alaska and the National Parks Service close down Denali in winter because of lowered demand. Wishing it otherwise will not make it so.

Not to be a naysayer, but Bob, reality is hard to argue with in this case. Hell, fishing is a summer thing too here. If your not subsistance, you have to be pretty hard-core to be ice chopping and sitting on an icy lake to get a possible nibble.

Also watch for goats, sheep, caribou and bunnies...don't hit no bunnies...
