Humpback whale coming towards Mad Dog Voyager (Whale
tail on left side of the bow)
Whale Watching is an incredible
experience. A great congregational point for these
magnificent creatures is at Point Adophus near the
entrance to Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska. Humpbacks
are huge mammals averaging 45' (14 m) and 30 tons
(27,000 kg) with large specimens as giant as 62' (19m)
and weighing up to 53 tons (48,000 kg).

Very close encounter with humpback whales
Must see! ... Our heart rates
jumped, the adrenalin started coursing through our blood
and we both knew
we were helpless to change anything ...

Here is a humpback whale having surfaced off of our Port
side and heading towards us. We marveled at how these
giant creatures are able to slip so smoothly and
effortlessly through the water
