We woke up this morning, grabbed a bite at the lodge then headed to the bay for a half day of sea kayaking. We ended up paddling along the shore for about four hours. It took us a bit to get into a groove but we worked it all out. We saw lots of kelp, a couple sea otters and harbor seals and then on the way back a little black bear cub foraging for roots along the shore. We watched him and let the current pull us.
After lunch we did one of the two whimpy hikes they offer. They have over 13 million acres and there are only two trails. I will say it was a very visually interesting hike. Lots of moss and lichen.
Before bed we decided to shower since we have to get up at 4:55a for the shuttle to the airport. Once we were cleaned we had an Alaskan moment where we realized we couldn't remember when we took a shower last.
I can't move without groaning. I feel achy and old.
Oh, while we were kayaking we saw millions of these quarter-size jellyfish. Our guide told us they were phosphorescent and if you come out when it is dark and throw a rock in the water they'll glow. So of course we had to try it out. My footsteps were illuminated. It was so much fun!
