Oh, just an afternoon in Alaska.

A bunch of humpback whales, a couple of porpoises, a seal, some sea lions, a handful of bald eagles, a puffin, a few glaciers, some icebergs.

I took this photo from  an island that we wandered around for a little bit. The boat is anchored in Snow Passage, which is where we stopped to watch a group of whales hanging out. The island was covered with rockweed, which pops like bubble wrap when you step on it!

 We hung out in the passage for a couple of hours, enjoying the sunshine and trying to time our entrance into Wrangell Narrows to coincide with currents going in our favor. The Narrows, as they sound, have a reputation for being tricky, with difficult currents and a channel that can be a tight squeeze because it’s one that a lot of cruise ships and tugboats use.
