August 18: Juneau - Whale Watching
We arrived in Juneau around 7 am and you could not see beyond the railing on our balcony the fog was so thick. This can't be good for whale watching today I thought. But by mid-morning it had lifted and we had a great day. We left the ship in the late morning to do a little shopping. Came back for a light lunch then hustled back to the pier to be one of the last ones on board the bus to the catamaran where we sailed into Auck Bay for scenic whale watching. The scenery was just stunning and all three of us remarked on the way that if we didn't see a single whale it had been an amazing outing. But we did see whales! Saw at least a dozen....none of them super close up and no "Prudential Commercial" breech jumps, but a lot of on the surface sightings and the iconic dorsal fin disappearing into the water. Was a super-great day!
