>Nice to have you back. Thank you >How was the cruise? It was good. The service on the cruise ship was fantastic. But, more important, the excursions in Alaska were really something. We stopped at four towns, and I hiked, biked, whale watched, and kyacked during those stops. The highlight was probably the whale watch. We saw orca pod AG. We saw at least 18 different members of the pod, including two males that are almost 40 years old. We think we also saw the dominant female, who was reported to be 55 years old. And, as an added treat, we saw rare cooperative behavior among the younger males. Later, we saw a film in our cabin that happened to discuss this. The most likely explanation was fish herding. I also saw two humpbacks while kyacking. When we got near where they fluked down, they had swum a long ways away, though. We also got to see the Hubberd glacier. That was very impressive. It was calving at the time, and we saw the calving, heard the "white thunder" and once felt the cruise ship rock from the splash. I've got pictures, but not a website. If Steve is willing, I can send him a couple. Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
