Kenai Fjord Tour

Today we arrived in Seward and right away got ready for our 6 hour tour of the fjords. We were in Resurrection Bay as well as the North Pacific. There was a lot of stuff going on despite the overcast day. We were able to see mountain goats, black bear, tons of birds, porpoises, sea lions, humpback whales, and orca whales. The orca whales were awesome to see as they were busy eating and very active. We saw them surface multiple times and watch as one swam right under the front of our boat. We also went out to the Holgate glacier and watched that for a while. Coming into the glacier we plowed through some small chunks of ice in the water that had broken off of the glacier recently. While at the glacier we were able to see pieces fall off and crash into the water-- It was very cool to see. On the way back we saw more birds and a couple more humpbacks but nothing like on the way out. It seemed to be a pretty successful day for most of the group.
