Thank you. I sailed the inside passage back in 93 and took many pictures, especially of the humpbacks plus all the wild life, long list, I could find. I didn't tell my husband how much it cost to develope the pictures. VBG I filled three very large photo albums.
The best experience I've every had. We decided that if we went to Alaska when we were young we would have stayed. I love the cold weather and lots of snow. All I can say it baffles my mind how some people can say there is no God after they see Alaska.
Everyone should have the chance to visit Alaska.

Beautiful pictures! What majestic creatures. I once swam with a wild dolphin in Dingle on the west coast of Ireland here's a link to a video of him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK-LeeGslMA

- I would love to swim with humpbacks!

OMG. Love the whales. We use to see some when we lived in Seattle.

We have a 10 day cruise to Alaska May 24 out of San Francisco. Hope we will see whales on our way up. The first two days are at sea.

when was in provincetown, we went on a whale-watching cruise and saw a pod of about thirty females amd their calves, all playing in the water, jumping in and out., and slapping their tails. it was so awe inspiring it made me cry. and in mexico, i actually swam with dolphins and they gave me a push-ride with their noses.

two memories that will stay with me forever. thanks for bringing them back so vividly.

KNEW you were an ol' softy deep down, BW! When I swam with the dolphin, I could hardly see, my mask kept fogging up with the tears. It was so awe inspiring that such a wonderful creature chose to spend time with ME! At one point, I was looking right in his eye and saw more intelligence, compassion and humour than you see in a lot of people.

In '07 we went on a cruise in Baja and got to pet baby gray whales. One of the greatest experiences of my life. Thanks for your wonderful pictures!
