Vestnik Bay, June 20

This morning we arrived at the Kamchatka Peninsula and did a zodiac cruise in Vestnik Bay. Basically, it was a cruise around two islands in the bay, which were surrounded by seals and thousands of birds. The seas were calm and it was a bit foggy, making for a really nice morning to go on a zodiac cruise. I only took a few photos - the one attached is a good landscape overview with a zodiac for perspective. We were on the cruise for about an hour. I had the birders in my zodiac and we were looking for the elusive Spectacled Guillemot. We did not see it, but did see a Steller Sea Eagle and a bunch of Horned and Tufted Puffins. We also saw a few hundred Harbor Seals. They were about as abundant as the sea otters were the day before. Oh yeah, and we also saw sea otters. All in all, a great morning!
