Hoonah

This morning as we sailed into Icy Strait Point we went out onto the veranda outside our stateroom and saw probably 30 whales. Our excursion this morning was a whale watching expedition onboard a small boat that traversed the waters nearby. Out in the strait we saw at least another 30 whales – – there were males, females, mothers and babies, and they were all around us. It is difficult to photograph the whale because as soon as you see the spout, it shows its dorsal fin and you missed the best part of the animal. However, I did get some videos where we were tracking some whales swimming by us and I will include those in this entry. We also saw sea otters seals, a bear, sea lions and puffins. Two bald eagles sat in the top of the tree and they were eyeing us curiously. This has been a fantastic day for nature watching and I think maybe seeing all of these wonderful animals scratched Glenda‘s itch for whale watching for a while at least.Meer informatie
