Piloting...

Spotting...

Food prepping...

Captain Fred is one amazing captain! Why, his navigation skills alone are worth the price of admission. Check out the bow pulpit...it never touched!

Here are some of the sights we were privileged to see.
Columbia ice fields


Dall porpoises (they played with us for the longest time, and distance).



Lady in the rock. Do you see her?

Beautiful scenery





Sea lions by the dozens




Icebergs from the Columbia Glacier

And bald eagles


All from this gorgeous vessel known as The Lulu Belle out of Valdez, AK.

Oh, yes - and sea otters that look like Vickie...

What a marvelous time!

I toured one of Valdez's museums. Do you know what this is?

Don't peek...
