Dawn breaks in a beautiful inlet where National Geographic Quest anchored late last night. Yesterday’s storm has passed and patches of blue sky appear as National Geographic Quest begins to wake up. On our transit down Peril Strait, we had the opportunity to see several sea lions, seals, sea otters, and one distant sighting of a humpback whale spout.
Midafternoon finds us in Ushk Bay, our afternoon destination for hiking. Intertidal zone and meadows were explored by our moderate hikers, while longer forays were made into the forest and its salmon stream.
