Whale watch in Seward

Don, Matt and I went on a grey whale watch May 7th.
The grey ones were not to be found, but we did see many orcas and humpback whales. Some were only about thirty feet from our boat and very cool to see. We also saw puffins, common murres and mew gulls. There were four dall sheep on the mountain side. I think the naturalist on board said their only know predator was mother nature when they fall of off the steep cliffs they climb! We also saw dozens of sea lions sunny themselves on large rock outcroppings. The weather was sunny and in the high 50s.

The drive down was beautiful, and I was surprised to see how much snow was still on the mountains and just off the road.
