Sailing Sailing Over the Bounding Main

The past two days have involved a drive from Portage AK down to Seward on Friday and a full day's boat trip on Saturday into Kenai Fjords National Park.  At the risk of being repetitive, the scenery on the way down to Seward was (as expected) awesome.  I'm not even going to bore anyone with pictures.

I'm also not going to mumify your brains with over 200 photos of assorted wildlife and glaciers from the boat trip.  But here are some of the highlights.



Typical Seward AK Abode
Note pretty decorated tree.

Typical Seward AK Dog
Note "Don't Bug Me" look.

Oh YESssss.
I found one.

Practicing my whale watching technique.

I watch the Crabbing Channel and that doesn't look
big enough for Alaska waters!

Valerie just being cute.

DON'T look up with your mouth open!!
  
Steller Sea Lion
Looks kinda like the aforementioned dog.

Queequeg  --  Man the boats!!

ORCA off the starboard bow
Whewwww! That was close.

"Ha Ha - Just kidding"

"When's the next tourist boat due?"
"I'm gettin' hungry"
  
Headed home, safe and sound..

Good Night from Seward Alaska.
