June 20, Day 35, Seward 50's some rain.


Today we went on a Marine wildlife excursion on the Star of the Northwest.  Does anyone recognize this guy?  He is the captain of the ship and is from Dickinson North Dakota!  Justin Krunk.



The first thing we saw on this trip were sea otters, comical little fellows.


Then we spotted a pod of Orcas,


which were surrounding a pod of dalls porpoise (the fastest among dolphins and porpoises) and hoping for a meal. We didn't stick around long enough to see if they were successful, which was just fine with Lana, although she said it was quite the scene.  



And then then they saw a Humpback whale.


And then lastly Lana and Chuck saw this group of sea lions.  Looks kind of like slugs on a rock, but Lana said they were quite a bit larger than slugs.

Hold your tai high and keep it a waggin'
