Due to rough seas we arrived in Sitka 1.5 hours late.  By the time we were able to get on a tender we had virtually no time to explore the town before we had to race back and get in line for the return trip.   This is one of the "hazards" to tendering.  Especially since the ships don't visit Sitka for as long a time as long as the other ports.


When we tendered in Ketchikan it was a breeze.  We waited about an hour and then went straight to the tender loading area.  Since we had a relatively long stay in Ketchikan we were able to do everything we'd planned without rushing.


I assume that Juneau is the same.  Most ships spend a long time in Juneau.
