We woke up this morning sometime after 7am to the announcement of Killer Whales all around the ship.  We did not jump out of bed to see them.   We went into the cafeteria for breakfast and there was another announcement for Killer Whales.  I went out with the camera and got some great pictures of ripples in the water.   I'd see them, but by the time I reacted with the camera, all I got photos of was the ripples.  I was trying to catch a photo of a Killer Whale a few hundred yards off the ship and suddenly, two surfaced next to the ship, right at my feet!  

We don't have any port calls today, so we're on the boat all day long.  Andrew and I walked a few laps around the deck to get some exercise.  I didn't sleep well last night, I'm not used to the rolling of the boat and we had some rough water last night.  I got a nice nap in before lunch.  

We saw more whales surface and blow throughout the day.  We went thru some very shallow, narrow channels and saw some very remote small towns and villages.  One in particular was the native village of Klemtu in British Columbia.  These towns are so remote that the ferry passing by brings people out on the porches to wave and honk car horns.   A few people yelled back at the ship.  One yelled "Take me with you!"    I found out later that the town of Klemtu is on a channel so narrow and shallow that even the ferry can go thru only in good weather!

We saw a few bald eagles nesting in the trees.  Andrew and I went inside to hear another ranger talk and a bald eagle flew right in front of the boat , guiding it for a minute.  Beautiful birds!

We went to our cabin to enjoy a glass of wine after dinner.  They are very serious about alcohol in public.  They have a bar, but you're not allowed to drink outside of the bar, other than your cabin.  They have it worded, "Alcohol will be confiscated.  It will be returned as you are escorted off at the next port... whether it is your final destination or not."  Yikes!
