Prince William Sound

When sea otters swim in a group it is called a raft. Reminds me of inter-tubes at Milam.
Jordan and I took another cruise to see whales. We got to see 5 or 6 humpback whales. We also saw several rafts of sea otters, seals, sea lions, ans puffins. The puffins were flying off a cliff, where their nests were. We got to see both kinds of puffins. They look so funny and cute when they fly. Their bright orange feet just seem to dangle behind them. It was a beautiful day and warm, about 57 or so. It was very cold at the glacier though. The temp was about 32 at the Columbia glacier. We saw tons of ice floes.
The puffins are too small to see here, but they are nesting on this cliff.
One of many ice bergs we sailed through!
The Kodiak had just arrived here and would be going out tomorrow.(For people like me, it is the boat from the TV show ,The Deadliest Catch.)
