Wolf and Barbara Schlichting Rig # 18
Well it is our turn again to Document July 14 Wednesday
The day started by getting up at 6.30 am to Caravan at 8 am to the Marine Centre for a Tour behind the scene and also look at the Exhibitions at the Centre
Some of us had to get back to the Park to walk our four legged friends before catching a Bus to board the Northern Explorer leaving at 12 noon for a cruise of Resurrection Bay and a little ways of the Gulf of Alaska. The Weather was just perfect for a cruise with sunshine and about 65 degree
First wildlife after leaving the Marina an Otter relaxing close by
The highlight of the Day came about 30 Minutes later with a Humpback Whale giving
us the trill of a life time playing on the port side of the Ship jumping half out of the Water and using the front flippers to splash the Water around him or her
The Salmon and Prime Rib Dinner Buffet was the best meal so far on this Trip
Next stop the Bear Glacier receding and leaving Icebergs floating in the Lagoon
passing Rugged Island on the way to Barwell Island to see Seal Lions lazy sunbathing and fighting for position on the rocks
At Cape Resurrection we found Mountain Goats way up on the hill feeding and Puffins swimming near by and viewed many Eagles perched in the Trees on the way back to the Marina
The Icing on the Cake the Desert just outstanding
A great trip with great weather memories of our Alaska Trip in 2010
Safe travel
Wolf & Barb
