Snow on the Trail

It was cold and lovely the third week of May.  The cold kept the snow level low.

Dinner!

Peril Strait Whales

We are a little out of practice with the telephoto lens, but here is a glimpse of one of the breaching humpbacks that we saw in Peril Strait.

Kayaking and Hiking

By unanimous vote we decided to take a hard left out of Petersburg and head up between Admiralty and Baranof Islands, rather than taking the Stephens Passage/Tracy Arm route.  What a week we had.  We saw hump back whales every day.  One day they were leaping, spy hopping and slapping.  One night we had one in the anchorage with us.  Brown bears (grizzlies) visited almost every beach at low tide.  There also were birds, a porcupine, a pod of orca whales, harbor seals, sea lions and porpoises playing in our bow wake.  Some days were hiking days and some days were kayaking days.  A few days featured a little of both.

We are in Auke Bay, enjoying a sunny end to a terrific week.  Stay tuned for a recap with photos.
