Sea Kayaking

Our last full day in Alaska was one of the best. After looking all over Seward the night before (in the rain) for a place we had heard rented sea kayaks (and being told by several people it didn't exist any more), we finally found the Alaska Kayak Camping Company the next morning. Bob Ceelen, the owner, was a great kayaking instructor and guide, and took us to some really interesting places, including a public-use cabin that we'd like to paddle back to and stay in some time. It was also interesting seeing some of the same sea life we'd seen on the boat cruise, but much closer up this time, as you can see below. For more information on kayaking (and I'd certainly recommend it), check out the Alaska Kayak Camping Co. Web site, or e-mail Bob. Click on any of the small images below to see a larger view of it:
