When I took the Alaska Marine Highway System (Alaska Ferry) to Alaska and back one of the things I got to do was a bridge tour. I got behind the scenes and met the folks “running the ship”. I first Continue reading Bridge Tour of the MV Colombia
The highlight of both my tours was the sea life (and some wildlife too). I saw so many Orcas that I got picky about which ones were worthy of photos. I also saw several humpbacks, but the most interesting was Continue reading Kenai Fjords Tour – Part 4
