Tomorrow the lodge officially opens, so tonight we had our employee party. We got to go on the Glacier Bay tour boat, The Fairweather II, for dinner. We got to experience the dinner/whale watching tour that the lodge offers to tourists.
We were told not to expect to see any whales on the cruise, because it is still early in the season. Usually, whales do not start to appear for a few more weeks, but we got lucky. We saw quite a few humpback whales, along with some sea lions.
There is a video at the end, it's not the best quality but we are still trying to figure the best way to download the video off our camera.

I'm so impressed that you were able to put a video on the blog. It gave us a "taste" of your experience. I'm so happy you were able to see whales. I just read in last night's paper that humpbacks are making a big comeback - up to 18,000 to 20,000 of them now compared to only 1,500 a number of years ago. Have a wonderful first weekend of work. THanks for sharing your adventures with us! Much love, Mom and Dad McGrady
That looks like a lot of whales. Did any of them jump out of the water? That'd be cool.
