Greetings my friends. How are you? Well I am good. Very good actually. I had a spectacular day yesterday with some humpback whales. We went out to go whale watching and came across 3 pods of 3 feeding. It was AMAZING. We where able to get real close, smell their breath, and some times feel it too. We stayed out for about 4 hours and just hung out with them. At one time their where 11 humpies in view and one baby. I have put some photos up on Flickr. Actually I think I loaded quiet a few. I have been a little "out of it" of late. The season is starting to wear on me. It's the normal time that it's starting to get harder to get up at 4:30am 6 days a week. Smile at all the tourist and welcome all the yachties that come by to say hi. It seems I spend more and more time out in my tent. But the good thing is, everyone is in the same frame of mind. Mornings are real quiet around here. :) The LMG (big orange boat) arrived today and it's a full day at Palmer. We just finished up cross town pizza with all of the crew of the ship and then in an hour the band is going to play and of course the party. The LMG has been out to sea for 5 weeks doing the LTER
and
the ship is dry. So when they come on station.. it's a party. I tend to
say HI to folks and duck out early. The bar is just a little to small
to fit 85 people in it.. :) We where also very BLESSED with fresh food.

was here on Sunday and we went out to do a lecture, the boat has
over a 1000 passengers so they can not come on station so we go out to
them. And of course head straight to the spa. Hair cuts where the number
one request. They where so very nice to us. It was a privilege to talk
with so many great people. And then when we went down to the hoist room
to get into our boats, there where three pallets of food waiting for us.
It was more fresh food than we order from Chile. So of course we could
not take it all but we went through and picked out about 25 cases of
fresh fruit and onions and potatoes and grapes. It was pure delight.

Well I must run, but wanted to send the link for the pics and also
of a video my friend Peter took of a whale tail. It was a bit
overwhelming. I apologize in advance for some of the language the boys
say. But it was a "moment" :)
