In three hours we saw four humpback whales, many bald eagles, and several seals and sea lions. Again the scenery was beyond description. I got a photograph of the buoy and lighthouse which offered such a lovely scene when we passed the same spot on our whal expedition of September 2012.  When the boat went fast it became a bit cool, but on the whole we were dressed appropriately. We dressed for another formal night and met the Friedmans and Wrinkles for a dinner of lobster and giant prawns. I ordered a delicious bottle of Bex Riesling from the Nahe region of Germany, which we all shared.
