Maybe we just hit a bad day.
Sounds like Fred was having an off day.
I was really impressed with how he stuck the nose of the boat up in the cave with the puffins, how close he got to the face of the glacier, and how he seemed to know where the humpbacks were going to surface next. I will say we saw more animals on the Stan Stevens tour. They have faster boats and run greater distances, but they couldn't get as close to the whales as the Lu-Le Belle. It is interesting to me how both boats pretty much travel the same water but each Captain will point out different things. We learned a bunch from both of them.
Next time you are in Valdez stop by the Lu-Lu Belle office and voice your displeasure. My bet is they would give you free passage on their next trip.
