Our boat trip to the Columbia glaciers. Aug 15th

This was a fun day, on a tour boat to the glacier.  We got to see some whales, sea otters, and sea lions.  They served a lunch on board of, clam chowder and bagel.  It was kind of cold so that hot soup tasted so good!!  

This is the harbor and the boat the we were on is the second one from from the right. Glacier Spirit

Not a very good pic..but that is the end of the pipeline, with all the oil storage tanks

A oil tanker on his way out..all the oil is shipped to lower 48 ports

That small yellow ship has to follow all of the tankers out of the Sound as a preventive measure.  One of the several safety measures that have been put in place following the Exon Oil Spill.
