Got up this morning and the sun was out, nice. After breakfast we caught the bus shuttle to the cruise ship. We went on the Spirit of Adventure, and it left at 10a.m. Boat had quite a few people but wasn’t full. No cruise ships in, they all left last night.
Once we got going the 1st thing we saw were otters, it is kind of like driving the Canada/Alaska roads/waters if you see a car/boat stopped you know they are looking at something. There was a boat ahead of us and it was stopped looking at the otters. Then we got moving again and that’s when we saw the Killer Whales, so many and all around. The babies you could see staying with Mama and jumping around.
After awhile were some Humpback Whales, for a little while. Then more Humpbacks, it seemed like there were so many out there. The Ranger we had on board doing all the talking was just amazed to even see so many. There were Puffins, many other birds, besides Sea Gulls, and more humpbacks. Dolphins and so many different kinds of seals.
There were quite a few people that got sick, it was kind of rough. Not like our Halibut fishing but rough. When we started out I told Dave to get me some stuff, just in case, which I ended up being fine. Don’t know if it was from the pills, but I have never gotten sick before but better safe then sorry. There was even one guy at our table that offered to buy 2 pills off of me, really, I’m not a drug dealer, I gave him 2. He was also fine, even napped a couple times.
We left at 10am and got back at 6pm, it was a long day and a lot of fun. People we met said the boat cruise, for even more $, was better in Valdez. You know we did this one and I think just too get a little bit closer to the Glaciers isn’t worth it. For the $ I would rather do something different, not another tour cruise.
Heading out tomorrow to Palmer, to pick up our mail, and visit with Linda and Vaughn, Linda and Mike and friends of theirs from Arizona. Imagine that, meeting more people from AZ. 1st we have to make a stop in Anchorage to shop at Costco and Walmart.
