Day 16, Seward, AK to Seward, AK, 0 mi

13 July 2015

This was another full-on first-rate Alaska day, complete with another bucket filled (first whale sighting).

The rain really came down last night, and I woke up to a lot of commotion from birds, a large ship coming in, fishermen heading out, and traffic noise.  After a cold breakfast under the tarp, we reassessed our camp and decided to move the tent to a location where water wouldn't run under it.  NBD (no big deal).

After a casual morning we strolled into town and got a tasty lunch of halibut and crabcake.  Pricy but tasty.  Next we made our way to the previously scheduled tour boat, which came c/w about 45 middle school aged children.

Next we made our way on foot to the waterfront where we caught a wildlife tour boat operated by Major Marine Tours.  I'll let the following pictures show how the afternoon proceeded...

Yuo talkin' to me?

Just a cool photo
We also managed to catch a couple of fin whales spouting off.  Way cool!
Major Marine Tours wildlife cruise is RECOMMENDED!
