Alaska - Week 2

Quick update: My family's cabin is spectacular. I have seen sea lions frolicking in the kelp bed on the north side of the spit, whales, and a bald eagle is building a nest in our "back yard". Went fishing a few days ago with Dad. Wet. But, whales were bubble feeding and circled around us (not surrounding us, but moving their feeding in a large arc around where we were fishing). At one point they came within 50 feet of us (I'm guessing) and dove under our boat. Made my heart stop. Caught 4 beautiful silver salmon and two nice humpies (AKA pink salmon). Dungeness crab in our crab pots. It's been a feast. I'm not looking forward to the heat wave when I return.

I'm also having great fun with my neice. Love overflows from my heart when I look at her.
