This morning, I am out in the kayak early. The water is glass and the quiet of our kayaks moving through the water is eerie. As we round the bend into the cove, we see an old whaling station.
When we make it to land, I am amazed by the technology of using water to run an entire while station. You can see old pipes that lead from the nearby waterfalls to what use to be one of the main buildings.
With the lush background and the stream bed, I am hoping to see a bear. No such luck. We do however, stumble upon bear claw marks on the inside of an old whale oil tank. Seeing the bear scratches makes me sort of glad we didn't run into a bear.
This afternoon we make it to another cove where we hike to the top of the island. It is here that see my first whale and I am as giddy as a child Christmas morning. It was so relaxing to sit at the top of this hill overlooking the sea and just follow the whale's path. I am addicted and can't wait for more.
Mary has kept in regular contact and prepared me for everything so far

I don’t have the words to describe it but the last week has been one of the best I can remember. 6 days of adventure in South East Alaska including trekking through lush rain forest, sitting in silence listening to glaciers calving, up early to see the northern lights, kayaking and stupidly swimming in iceberg frozen waters ! (That actually hurt).
Animal sightings including black and brown bears, Minke and hundreds of Humpack Whales, porpoises, sea lions, mountain goats, harbour seals, bald eagles, salmon and more birds than I can count. Wonderful friends and connections made. A huge shout out to Trevor and his totally amazing crew on the Admiralty Dream whose energy and enthusiasm made this most incredible experience.

From the initial booking all the way through the trip, this was by far our favorite trip. Small boat travel is the only way to see a location. The excursions were so much more than I could explain. The locations were remote and awesome.
