Seward

Seward is pretty quiet, especially early in the morning. This is a shot of downtown Seward. Lots of little bars, hotels and restaurants.

The walkway in front of the Sealife center in the morning.

The Alaska Sealife Center as the sun is rising. Some of the money from the Exon Valdez oil spill recovery fund was used to create the Sealife Center which servers as a wildlife recovery & research center and aquarium.

Helly Hansen's had the tour registration desk at one end and a shop that sold all sorts of weather gear at the other end. You could find everything from warm hats to gloves to full rain slicks. You could come up with all sorts of ideas on how Helly got his name but his shop is a pretty handy place to stock up pre-tour.

Those warm winter hats come in handy when you're out on a windblown, drizzly deck looking for whales.

We met the RCA dog at the dock by Helly Hansen's.

A fishing boat getting an early start.

There was a coal loader for the local mining operation in the harbor. It was pretty much the biggest piece of machinery in the whole town.
