Caught on the Old Glory
After a stormy couple days, passengers, along with Whaler Ida, enjoyed a great
Nature Cruise. A couple northbound gray whales were sighted on the way to the
Islands, but they were somewhat elusive. Several hundred common dolphins were
spread out over quite a large area, apparently feeding. Close to the small
island, passengers were treated to a sight rarely seen on cruises–mating gray
whales! Of course all were delighted with the islands’ bounty of harbor seals,
elephant seals and many species of birds. All on board had a wonderful time!
