Yesterday (7/27/10) Nan and I went on a fishing charter out of Seward, AK. There were about 10 fishermen on the boat. Between us Nan and I caught a silver salmon, a couple pink salmon, and yelloweye (like a red snapper), and some black bass. Nan also caught a ling cod that the captain hooked for her, but it was too small so they threw it back. In the video, the ling cod are the big ones on the end, and the one picture is looking down the mouth of the ling cod.
Today we went on a 3-hour wildlife cruise. This was a bigger boat that could hold over 100 people. We saw puffin, seals, otter, mountain goats (that looked like white specks because of the distance), and whales. In the one video I think Nan thought the whale was a sperm whale because you can hear her asking to see some tail, but it turned out to be humpback whales. We leave tomorrow for Anchorage, and then on to Valdez (now the site of the second worse oil spill in U.S. history).
