My o my the cruise trip was something else, we saw sea otters, puffins, orcha whales, mt. goats and kids, sea lions, a harbor seal, 2 black bears,2 humpback whales,seals an eagle and Steller sea cows. All this took place while we were o this little cruise boat going on the Kenai Fjord National Park trip. It was seven and a half hours long, but we did go for the roast beef and salmon dinner that was delicious! Then it was back to camp for the night. Today we went to the Alaska Sea Life Center to look at various birds and other sea life on the Resurrection bay. We saw puffins swim under water and had a lesson by a person that knew all about salmon. Well then we left for Homer and no sooner got here and they said that they had to go help unload a 200 pound halibut, they brought it back here along with about eight other halibut. There is a limit of 2 per fisherman. But once they are cleaned and in a cooler they no longer are counted. We grilled hamburgers for supper. We are all beat tonight, we were not able to take a shower this AM. But tonight we are in a better campground. Also we saw a glacier and what they call caving, where the ice breaks off from the glacier.
