So busy & so tired!

Sorry I haven't been posting, but I'm working 11-hour days and sometimes going out after work, and by the time I get home, I have NO desire to upload pics and write...

I worked Sunday-Thursday this week,and had some really great days and one not so great day. Tuesday was awesome- SO MANY ORCAS!! All day long, we just kept encountering different pods.  

Wednesday was the not-so-great day- the weather forecast was crazy- one site said warm and sunny and another site said cold and rainy. Turned out that cold and rainy was correct, along with 10-11 foot seas.  These were the worst sea conditions we've had so far this season, and we hit them early in the morning, a little more than an hour into the trip.  10 footers aren't that bad for me, but for the 11 or so people that got seasick, it was BAD. But on the bright side, almost everyone took care of themselves when they were sick- they all did it in bags and we didn't really have to clean much up. One lady did puke down her shirt, and she stunk for the rest of the day.  Bad.  Really bad.  Once we got out of the Gulf and into Harris Bay, the seas calmed, and people started feeling better.  The glacial activity was AWESOME- we had the first ice fall of the season, and all of the sick passengers said that totally made up for their seasickness.  We hit some rough seas later on in the day, and then saw a pod of orcas, which again helped to make up for all the sick.  All the passengers fill out comment cards at the end of the trip, and under the question "what can we do to make this a better trip?" someone wrote, "avoid rough seas." Yes, let me just ring up Poseidon or Triton and I'll pass the message on.  

Since Sunday was Father's Day, I had a brilliant idea to make a "Happy Father's Day" sign and have the passengers pose with it in front of the glacier and waterfall :) it went over well! 

So, that's what's been going on. I'm off today and tomorrow, and I'm just relaxing and walking around town...since there's not much else to do!
