Alaska adventure

 We’re enjoying a cruise through the Inside Passageway from Vancouver to Anchorage. We flew to Vancouver last Tuesday to spend a day in the big city before boarding our ship on the 23rd. We’re cruising with Silverseas on their newest boat .. Silver Nova. Capacity of 720+. Still a small ship compared to the behemoths from other lines. 

The service, food and surroundings have all been outstanding. Our kids, Lisa and Sean, are traveling with us, making for a great family adventure. They did this trip in reverse last year and talked us into joining them.

We’re signed up for excursions most days..so far we’ve experienced a walk in the rainforest and today we did whale watching. We saw several whales, multiple Orcas and a Sea Otter. Plus sunshine after a rainy first couple of days.

Here’s some photos from Vancouver and our first couple of days.  I’ll post the wildlife tomorrow.

The old and the new..


Ocean sunset..



Several small lighthouses along the way…


Pelagic cormorant….a bit different from the ones we’re used to..
