Whales

During our short stay in Juneau we took a trip out into the channel to see some whales and whatever else we could find.


Our crew consisted of Captain Cook (Cheryl Cook that is) on the left and her engineer and deck hand, Molly.



The crew knew where to find the whales and we saw quite a few. Several times we saw the tail flip!


Sometimes all we saw was a hump, or a spray from their blow-hole (note there are two here).



We even saw some Orca whales (also known as killer whales).

And we saw some sea lions (Charlotte took this picture while I was not looking).

"Can you pull in the leviathan with a fish hook or tie down his tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?

Now this is WAY cool! What a treat to see real whales in Alaska! And the Orca, too- wow, y'all are peaking my interest in taking Sandy someday!

Thanks for sharing your journey!
