Lots of stuff going on this past week. The traditional 4th of July bacchanal, of course; but also company from America. Leah arrived on the 30th for a wedding that was held in the wilds of Excursion Inlet. I understand she also spent a fair amount of time in the wilds of South Franklin. Don't think sleep was a big part of her holiday. I managed a supper at Zephyr with her and Kira as well as a breakfast and a walk. She looks great and is thriving.
My great nephew, Christopher, has also been up this past week for a visit. He's the same age as Leah and Amanda and lives in Everett, Washington. He's a real nice kid...he'll be starting school this next fall.

Last evening Christopher and I went on a whale watching cruise. It was very fun. We went up into Barlow Cove and caught some humpbacks doing the bubble-feeding gig. They only did it once - and I got exactly one decent pic of the action. But it still made the whole trip worthwhile!
As Leah would say: "Hot whale-on-whale action!"

After Barlow Cove we motored-up to the North Pass for more whale watching. En route, we stopped at the buoy off of the entrance to the cove to check-out the lazy-ass sea lions taking a snooze. I suspect that every whale boat does the same and they were remarkably unconcerned by the visit.
Workin' hard or hardly workin'?
Well, off to mom's for coffee.
