A day on the water

Today a friend took us out on his boat to see the sights around Sitka. The bottom pic is one of the harbors on the island. The next two are just a few pics of the land as seen from the water. Sitka is surrounded by lots of other little islands, so we cruised around some of these. The second one from the top is of a really cool jellyfish we saw. It's a little hard to see, but it was really cool and all pinkish orangish and BIG. Way bigger than what we're used to. When we were coming back towards home we saw this sea lion (top pic) eating a fish. Wasn't fast enough to capture that, but did get a pic of him near the boat. He was pretty curious and swam up right to the boat, but he didn't surface. Really enjoyed being out on the water. A little different from South Rexas. Instead of being in 12 inches of water, most of our cruise today was in 150-200ft of water. WOW! A little bit of a change!
