Kayaking Thumb Cove

Today Sarah and I went kayaking in Thumb Cove in Ressurection Bay through a local guiding company called Miller's Landing. We decided on a shorter trip, which was supposed to leave at 11 am and end at 2 pm. It was a gray and rainy day and the outfitter was incredibly unprofessional, providing practically no instruction and no guidance on the water. It was clear the guide was upset when we arrived at the drop off place and he had to lead another trip. Despite that, and the nasty weather, we still had a nice time on the water. We saw what appeared to be an orca whale in the water, as well as a bald eagle some swimming salmon. In some places, the water was an amazing emerald green color, and it was a very calm and lovely paddle.
