Cruising Alaska, July 2007 - Victoria-Seattle-Whitehorse

At 9:10 we passed the breakwater into the Outer Harbour, and I was able to get this shot of the Amsterdam with a full moon above (1/50 sec @ f5.6, ISO 800).     We would have liked to walk around downtown and maybe have a drink, but just had no energy left after being pounded by the seas for almost 3 hours - we were back on board by 10:00 pm, and asleep long before we sailed away at 11:45. Despite the pounding, we both felt that the excursion was worth going on - I've seen many orcas but this was Cathy's first experience with them, and she was thrilled by it.
