Alaska - Day 3- June 30, 2011















We got off to an early morning start.  Alarm went off at 5:45, coffee at 6:10 in a to-go cup, and we were off.  What a morning it was....clear blue sky with sun, sun, sun!  We had an unbelievable time with the Mom and two cubs followed by a clamming tide with the mom and three cubs, followed by the Mom and two cubs playing in the sea!!  WOW!

In the middle of all that we said goodbye to our Swiss friends and to Ed and Nancy from Anchorage.  We really enjoyed our time with both couples!

Time for lunch at 1.  After 6 hours of standing and shooting we were all a bit tired, so we called a halt until 3.  In the interval we recharged our batteries, camera batteries, and downloaded our full 32 G cards!

At 3 PM, we were on the hunt again.  Now with a German couple.  This time we encountered the Mom and one fun cub.  This cub is a first year and she loves to play.  She can entertain herself for hours.  She elected go pose for us!  Cheri decided that this little one might be here favorite bear, closely followed by the blond twins!

Alas the weather seems to be changing.  There is now a very stiff breeze and the clouds look very different.  So we are bracing for what comes our way.  Dinner is at 7 tonight instead of 6:30...so not sure if we will get a final ride tonight or not.

Got the ride, but not tons going on.

Enjoy!
Cheri & John
