Stunning Alaskan Seas

Sunday, 17 May 2015

This morning around 6:30, an announcement came that there were some humpback whales, Dall porpoises and stellar sea lions off the bow. We dressed quickly and went to the bow (quite chilly) and saw a cow and calf humpback swimming and breaching for quite a while, absolutely amazing to see live.

 After breakfast and briefings about bears on the trails and getting on and off the DIBs (their version of Zodiacs), we sign up for kayaking in the afternoon, and Barney gets ready for the photography workshop as we cruise between Baranof and Chicugof
