Sam’s View
Today me and daddy went kayaking! We saw sea otters, kelp,
rocks, birds, and lots of jellyfish! Some were big and some were small. We went
all the way around Yukon Island! It was big. Also we saw a rock called Elephant
Rock. It looked like an elephant!
Summer’s View
While Sam and Jim went kayaking, I took a boat through
Rainbow Tours to check out Gull Island and spend the afternoon in Seldovia,
AK. At Gull Island, I saw several new
birds to add to my list, including Tufted Puffins! As we were on our way to Seldovia, we passed Sam
and Jim in their kayaking tour around Yukon Island – lol.
Along the way to Seldovia, we spotted a small humpback
whale, and rafts of sea otters swimming along. They are so cute and curious!
The guide said they spend 90% of their lives in the water.
In Seldovia, I strolled around the boardwalk area and took
some beautiful pics of the homes and businesses along the water’s edge. I had
some lunch at a local diner, but I was really struck by how quiet it was on the
island. It didn’t occur to me what noise was missing until I saw a car go by,
and I realized it was street noise from cars! People have to bring over their
vehicles by a special ferry to get them to the island, but there is no regular
ferry service, so visitors do not drive here. While I was having lunch, a sea
otter was sleeping in the harbor, just floating along on his back, the epitome
of peace and quiet.
