Dean at the wheel of the DISCOVERY

Sometimes an adventure is just too good for words. That about sums up our recent 3-week excursion to Alaska. Planes, boats, and trains (and a rental car) combined to help us find what we were looking for in a genuine travel adventure. Then a road/train trip from Anchorage north to Denali and south to Seward and then Whitney, where we boarded our little DISCOVERY vessel to spend a week searching out wildlife, glacier, and wilderness in the silent bays of Prince William Sound.

The DISCOVERY at harbor in Nellie Juan bay. Kayaks and Zodiak at the ready.

This bear was fishing at a small waterfall. We took our Zodiac in quite close to photograph it. Other than the occasional glance, it paid little attention to us. It was very focused on watching for salmon, jumping into the water to grab one.

Our activities included fishing as well as wildlife watching. Allie's Cod was as big as she could lift!

Pat Piloting the Discovery.

I'm collecting my piloting miles all over the world. Piloted our vessel on the Amazon in the dark of night. "Mas Mas" the Ecuadorean Capt would urge. "More to the right. More to the left."

Also piloted a small boat in the Caribbean, off the Dominican Republic, and the Julia Belle Swain steamboat for a small stretch of the Mississippi River!
