I don’t think yesterday went as Hurtigruten had hoped. I suspect that two of the early days were for the SERIOUS bird people. And then there were two days for the land mammal people. We did see bears on tsunami day near Katmai. But yesterday was supposed to be Kodiak bears and moose.
Our zodiac group saw: one generic red fox. One sea otter. One deer. Another generic red fox and two eagles. A seal. Oh and a dead jellyfish. We were to last group out and our boat driver said we saw more than any of the earlier groups. I got everyone one our boat to get off talking about how many bears we saw.
Tomorrow we will be zodiacing around IcyBay. Which may or may not be icy. About 10 years ago, icy bay had a huge tsunami 300+ feet. No one was hurt. Nothing was damaged. No one even knew it happened until it registered on some device in Boston. Tsunamis love bays.
Saturday is IcyBay. Sunday is Sitka. I am pretty sure we can get off the boat there. I enjoyed Sitka greatly when I was there 3 years ago. But the voyage is winding down. All too soon it will be Wednesday and we’ll be heading to Vancouver.
