Whale Watching April 21, 2012
What a beautiful glorious day! The sun was shining. The temperature was just right and my friends and I were looking for adventure!
Bridget, Bonnie and I decided to head to Psagshack(puh sag shack) to Fossil Beach. That's the end of the road in Kodiak. Seems kinda funny but it's true! You can get no further down the island than Fossil Beach! The road winds around and follows the coast and with the sun shining and good friends in the car we were off!
We hiked up the bluff to Narrow Cape at fossil beach. It's pretty interesting in that the drive to this particular beach takes you through the Rocket Launch facility and when you actually make the hike you end up seeing several WWII "pill boxes"(look outs - gunneries ...whatever) . These make great places to park your backside while you watch for whales. I guess I should say that this is Whale Fest season.

I've gone every year and have seen spouts in the distance. You can see hundreds at once if you get there at the right time. This time we saw humpbacks frolicing in the waves and breeching! It was a great sight! Something I will always remember and treasure.
