 Some people go down one after another.

After all, the group is all young people in their thirties.

The top batter is my wife's "Kotetsu".
The next day's appetite is zero.

The complexion is blue and the voice is lumpy.

Take care and take a day off.

Humpback whales could also be seen from seaplanes, and the sea, where orca, dolphins and harbor seals live, is a wild kingdom.

Although it is a great treasure trove of nature, it is good that there are no tourists.

It's an Island that only enthusiasts can approach.

Large sea urchins that look delicious are tightly stuck to the bottom of the sea.
All-you-can-catch crabs and halibut.

I can't wait to see when we taste it on our tongue.

This trip is accompanied by a professor of "Wild Bird Master",
so the name of the bird is easy to understand.

"Oyster Catcher"

"Guilet"

"Bald Eagle"

And I'm happy to see my favorite bird, the Tufted Puffin,
on St. Paul Island, Alaska!

"Tufted puffin" is called "beautiful beak" in Ainu language and is
a member of the puffin.

There are colonies of sea lions (sea lions) and seals on the rocks, and dozens of them are wary of rare people in the rough seas.

I was surprised at the sound of the engine and went underwater all at once.
Some are diving and some are taking a nap.

That gesture is humorous.

It's as if my grandson started walking, and I smiled.

However, the sea breeze is colder than I expected,
and the bright red coverall life jacket acts as winter clothes.

You can feel like an astronaut on a high-speed boat.

A magnificent figure of a "bald eagle" on a tree where
the captain points in a temporary direction.
Even with a telephoto lens (400m),
it can only be confirmed as a bean grain.

I chase after the rear view with my wings flapping and taking
off, but the view from the sea is still powerful and moving.

Take a 4-seater seaplane to Rose Harbor.

(Kunghit Island at the southern end).
 In the past, Japanese and Chinese who emigrated to Canada worked as whaling bases.

The 1941 Pacific War also put an end to exports to Japan.

After arriving, unpacking was moderate, and we boarded the boat and departed for sea watching.

The "Zodiac Hurricane Boat" has a V-shaped fiberglass at the base.
It is comfortable to ride and does not splash much.

Next is a young cameraman.  
It's no wonder that looking into a telephoto lens in a swaying boat makes you feel sick.

After landing on the Island, it goes down as it is.

A wild deer came to visit us, but at that time, I got up and pointed my camera at the professional guts.

Young people are good.

Satisfactory ocean exploration is full of highlights and I'm looking forward to the future, but will I have physical strength?
