BUDDY BOATING - Bottleneck and Khutze Inlets



Wendy and Bill saying good night after dinner on Tom and Kay's boat, Alaskan Sea-Duction.

Another beautiful sunset at anchor.
Alaskan Sea-Duction will slip off from the group in the morning. They are heading for Alaska.




Took the boats out of gear to give the whales some room.


Large pod of orca killer whales on June 14th of Swindle Island.
This picture only shows six... there was like two dozen! Very Kewl!



Brunch in the pilot house while underway.
Cone Island in the distance.... another sunny day :-)

Sea Badger in the lead today, heading past Cone Island, an extinct volcano. 

Inside Bottleneck Inlet


The navionics chart plotter, 0 knots whale watching.



Wendy heading over, in her kayak, in her bermuda shorts on another rainy day.
I do believe Bill and Wendy have gone "looney".

A visit from our new friends, Wendy and Bill from Victoria, B.C.

Sea Badger at the falls off Sarah Island.

 What an incredible day!





After leaving Bottleneck... The destination was Khutze Inlet.
The waters were very calm in here making for a leisure cruise.
John's trying out his rain suit to go crabbing.

There was a group of Nordhavn's traveling on our course on there way to a rendezvous in Alaska.

Another great scenic view and Sea Badger.











Cleaning crab oh, joy!

These are all the halves, waiting to be cooked up.



Our Friend Kay

Bagging and tagging crab for the freezer! I had triplets!

He's from New Zealand, she's from Turkey... the doggie is along for the ride.

Your blog has become one of our Sunday morning rituals. The waterfall was beautiful, the friends look super fun. It's great to have friends that can give you the heads up for your Alaska voyage!
All I can wrap up with is, save some crab for me!

See ya soon,
Lu-Lu

A few more thoughts ~
If I need a rain suit it's going to look just like my HD rain suit 😎
If I need waterproof boots they will look like those slush boots I wear in Breckenridge 😜

Prepare a list of things you need me to pick up and I'll bring it. 💃

See ya soon~
