What a Day!

Cruising up Wauchusset Inlet on a spectacular sunny day. I remember the stroll up to a waterfall and an odd rock that looked like a bear with this very fun group of Michiganders from Leland County.

Spring is coming :)

Thoughts of spring in Glacier Bay, AK can only make you smile with anticipation of May. The short summer comes to life with a burst of energy in spring. Trees flush out with new growth, rocky shore plants start sending out shoots, Morels peak out from leaf debris and of course the wildlife ventures out with their new young. Calves, pups, cubs, kids, nestlings, goslings, fingerlings, kits and thousands of other type of young spring forth on land and sea. Here are a few pictures to celebrate the fun of being young!

These worms live just inside the surface of the glacier, with a hand magnifier you could see hundreds even smaller

Moose Cow and Calves

After the swimming lesson: Moose Cow and calves

It was hot and somewhat buggy when we saw this cow pushing her calves into the water over and over until they learned to dunk their heads to rid the flies.

Brown bear sow and her 2 cubs-Tidal Inlet

I paddled around a cliff face corner and there they were. She was as unhappy as I was at our proximity. Look at her guard hairs standing up-my were too. We backed off until they were happier and enjoyed them a while.

Wolf Pup

May is when these kids are bor. I hold my breathe as they gamble up the sheer cliff faces

the Epic Adventure begins with our first of the season Glacier Bay expeditions. If you are thinking of joining us for an adventure, you may also want to consider chartering the whole boat for a private family or friend adventure. Singles, couples, friends and groups all have amazing adventures on the Sea Wolf. I very much look forward to a new exciting season and meeting all the fun adventuresome guests cruising with us in 2011.

Tania Lewis, Glacier Bay National Parks bear biologist sent us a picture from one of the webcams by the dead whale- shows a wolf by the whale carcass and the Sea wolf drifting behind. It will be a very interesting report on who gorged on the carcass, species interactions and how it will affect the 2011 population growth and survival. I promise to share when I hear.

Hello World, We are live with our first blog. I hope all of Sea Wolf Adventures past and current clients participate in this blog. It is a fun way to connect, reconnect, share experiences and ask questions. I am on my way to Port Townsend with the Sea Wolf, Captain Mike at the wheel and KW at the engineer post. Once there we will haul out using the 300 ton travel lift and start our annual R&M and improvement process. And I hear tomorrow night in PT Fred Sharpe an amazing whale biologist will be presenting so i will be there gathering new info.
