Alaska Trip~Day 4

This morning we awoke to the far away sound of fog horns. I was in gazing at another cruiseship traveling along side of ours, when it disappeared instantly in fog as thick as soup and then cleared just as quick.

It started a light misty rain as we left the ship for our Whale Watching excursion. We were told the rain made good weather for whale sightings. We boarded a bus which drove us 30 mins to the boat. It was a speed boat with sliding windows & decks in front and rear. It the held approximately 20 passengers.

We sped away to 3-4 different areas as we were treated to beautiful views of whales 10+ ft. larger than our boat. They were magnificent to see as they splashed their huge tails.

After our 4 hour tour, we watched fisherman catch their daily allowance of 2 salmon. We also saw eagles perched all along the roads. Finally, we were dropped off downtown for more sightseeing and shopping.

After a full day in Juneau, we headed for a late supper of lamb & ribeye steaks.
