Our boat is a catamaran.
Enlarge to see the sailboat with a red sail. The mountains look even bigger when you compare to the boat size.
Our first wildlife of the boat trip today. Puffins. There were literally thousands of them.
A beaver.
The glacier is a river of ice on it's way to the ocean.
WOW! 2 humpback whales.
That's one big whale!
After this dive, we didn't see them again. We think there were three of them. I have MANY MANY more pictures of them.. :-)
Stellar sea lions basking in the sun. Their noisy barks were amusing.
Rookery of red and black footed kittiwicks, and horned and tufted puffins.
Nesting puffins.
Red-footed kittiwick with his fish.

Puffin.
Two cormorants flying and puffins are there too.
Puffins on cliff.
Arriving at the glacier.
Up close to the glacier. Let's see some breaking off...
No such luck... But they are SOO impressive!
A different glacier on the way home.
More sea otters. They are so cute just floating there in the middle of the ocean!
What a beautiful day!
Just a couple of harbor seals on the rocks.
What a wonderful day aboard this boat. We left at about 3:00pm and returned at about 9:30pm. We had been served a soup lunch and either chicken or salmon for dinner. The animals I didn't manage to get a picture of were the 3 Dall porpoises, black bear and 2 bald eagles.
