What are they looking at? Let's get in closer. Can you read the handwriting?
Knowing how to read a nautical map is important. Getting lost or stuck would be no fun…
Do you want to know what IS fun? A zodiac! Zodiacs are heavy duty inflatable boats used by the U.S. Navy, marine search and rescue operations, scientific research and nature loving tourists like us.
Our fleet of zodiacs lived on top of the M.V. Sea Lion.
Each day the crew used a big crane to get them down and ready.
We zipped to shore for kayaking, hiking and exploring the tides. One time our zodiac floated close to the shore so we could get a good look at a mama bear and her three cubs eating grass.
On the last day our very (very, very, very) patient boatswain took the kids out to learn how to drive the zodiac. Let’s take a ride with Miss G.
Nice job, girlie.
Your turn J-Dude.
Wow. Whiplash. Knotted hair. Bruises on my bottom. Did I mention how patient our boatswain was?
Check out what J-Dude and Miss G earned. Watch out Alaska….
