Whale Tails in Frederick Sound ... On Video

One of the beauties of boating is the amazing fellow boaters you meet along the way.

When we were anchored in Taku Harbor (a blog that is yet to come) we met a great couple from Florida, Casey and Mary, cruising on a boat that they literally trailered from Florida to Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.

We ran into them again on the docks of Juneau, and they were quick to tell us about a video they saw of our boat in Frederick Sound, capturing an encounter we had with a number of whales. They took us up the docks to a lovely Ranger Tug called Traveler and introduced us to Russ and Toni, who shot the video.

We exchanged boat cards (which in the boating world is as important to have as a business card is in business) ... and lo and behold, Russ sent us this amazing video of Engelenbak, completely edited with music... shot from his boat. And THIS, ladies and gentleman, is why we love to cruise Alaska.

BTW, we did NOT run over the whale at the end of the video ... he seemingly just was playing with us, and waving good bye with his tale after passing. Whale tails....
