We had barely finished dinner last night when an echoing crash sent us tumbling out the the front door. A humpback whale breached several times out in Lynn Canal, then began waving its flippers around.
The day had been warm, and the evening calm and soft, largely without biting bugs. We sat watching whales for a bit, then a familiar boat hove in view: the Princeton Hall, out of Juneau, came cruising past the homestead, and turned to approach our beach.
