Adventure Day 13 Katmai and a tsunami alert

Out hunting for bears

Like yesterday, today we have zodiac rides but no landings.

Unlike yesterday I decide that I must go on one of the trips. So, at 9am, I am bouncing along on Geographic Bay, Katmai NP.

Bears on the beach.
Eagle in the bushes.
By the time we get back to the mothership it’s pouring.

Back on the ship, I am grateful to Patagonia because I am dry. Not everyone in the Zodiac was. I decided to pass on the late afternoon zodiac trek. Looking for bears.

But soon, the captain says there’s a tsunami alert and we must get to deeper waters asap.

Waiting for the tsunami…

The area is no stranger to tsunamis. Every place we’ve stopped that had people also had tsunami escape routes noted. But, I don’t recall seeing warning sirens like we have in Hawai’i. This sign was in St Paul.

Any how, apparently no significant tsunami action, so we are underway again. I think it’s Kodiak tomorrow. Maybe we can go ashore.
