As priest on board I am able to escort some of the excursion on shore and today I was off to the eagle preserve. We didn’t see a bear but we saw lots of eagles and took a trip into the rain forest. It is one of the largest in North America. Everywhere we went there were eagles but we also got to see a seal sunning itself. The Pink salmon are running now so I got to see the fence the salmon have to go thru to be counted. At present there were 1,249 since May. This is not a good number as there needs to be 5,000 by the end of September.
Interested in a new job, how about be salmon counter. They work 8 hr shifts and don nothing but watch salmon go thru the gate and occasionally catch a few to measure them and see where they have been. We were waiting to see Stockings the bear an her three cubs but she didn’t appear. I did have the opportunity to eat a white berry that isn’t white at all but orange. Very tasty and in the raspberry family. Also so wile blueberries which the bears love but also learned they contain a worm inside each one . Chose not to eat one of those!
