Scenic Sailing

Mountains covered with snow.

Seal lions crowding the small beach area that we passed...you could smell them like we smelled the penguin rookeries!

These sea lions caused there to be two large pods of Orca whales..we did not get to see them. They must have had to eat and run..or swim!

Lighthouses. When you look at the remoteness of some of the lighthouses that have lighted our way around the world you have a new appreciation for the people that have lived their lives in them to help sailors navigate the world. Today, even this one in the photo is on auto-pilot. It is no longer "manned". A computer does the work. However, many still are "manned" and to those lighthouse keepers...thnaks for keeping us safe!
