Exploring Alaska 7 Day Adventure

Day 3: Wildlife

Monday morning, day 3 of our exploration, we raised anchor and headed to retrieve our shrimp pots. The first pot yielded a very good haul. The second pot, not as much. A Giant Pacific Octopus had spent time in the early morning devouring the shrimp (we released the GPO back into the water). Fortunately we still ended up with well over 100 shrimp for our fabulous dinner that evening. Next we were on our way to Sunset Island to view a few Stellar Sea Lions. The smell was fabulous, or not so much.

That afternoon we arrived at Five Finger Island Lighthouse. One the first lighthouses ever constructed in SE Alaska. The couple living their for the summer, John and Pat, volunteer their time. They share island with some beautiful inhabitants. Pigeon Guillemots, Oyster Catchers, Eagles and so much more. A Humpback swam past, only feet off the island while we were atop of the lighthouse.

Soon we were off to drop anchor in Pybus Bay and visit with some very cool sea lions. Tomorrow we head to Red Bluff Bay on Baranoff Island and will experience a rare and spectacular event.
