I wrote last night and added pictures and then hit send... it didn't send. The wifi here in the park is becoming horrible after 4 PM ..... (time to leave,huh???)
It's ridiculous we can't get on and there are not that many in the park now. Oh well.....
So let me tell you about our weekend! We had a fantastic day on Seward. We left around 7:30AM and drove to Seward about 90miles from here. The day was cloudy and cool when we left and some drizzle. By the time we got to Seward the sun was beginning to shine and it was just cloudy with sun peeking through for the rest of the day! We got on the catamaran and found our places we felt we could see the best. Megan and Jeff stayed up on top mos of the time until it got colder.
We saw sea otters, Dall porpoises, a "superpod" of about 30 Killer whales,~~Wow! What a sight! ~~ Humpback whales, an eagle, Puffins, various species of sea gulls, jellyfish, Stellar sea lions rookery and some other birds I was able to mark off in my bird book!
Then we went to the Holgate Glacier! Wow! The pictures just do not do them justice! The ice is sooo blue and we stayed around 25 minutes or so and actually got to see it "calve"... break off into the ocean. There is where it got really cold and windy and we saw jellyfish! They told us the temp was around 40 but the water temp. was about 20 degrees. We got back to the docks around 5 and then ate supper and headed home. What a great day!
