| What started out with a gloomy and foggy morning turned into a beautiful afternoon. Our excursion today began with a short boat ride to Fin Island where we had a delicious breakfast that included crab legs, salmon, and prime rib hash. After that, we hopped back on the boat and toured the local waterways looking for wildlife. We were fortunate enough to see several eagles, sea lions, otters, and even another whale, not to mention some amazing scenery. |  |
This is the foggy, misty morning that we woke up to. I know it looks like a black and white photo, but it is a "color" photo that hasn't been edited.
By the end of the day though, the gloom had disappeared, and it was a gorgeous day to be in Alaska!
We were bear-ly off the ship before we encounted the first local wildlife.
Ol' eagle eye has his eyes on us.
Just two more of the several other eagles that we spotted.
Here's a cute little otter doing the backstroke across the sound.
Oh bouy! We saw more sea lions today. Evidently bouys are good hang-out spots for these critters.
We had another brief whale sighting today.
One of the passages between islands that we sailed through today.
To quote one of my favorite lines from Forrest Gump, "That's my boat."
Here's one of the eagles that was flying outside our stateroom when we got back to the ship.
And here's another one of the bald eagles flying outside our stateroom. You can tell he's a young eagle because the feathers on his head haven't turned white yet. It usually takes about 4 or 5 years before their head turns white.
