Stikine's guiding thread

Up the Stikine river today for a morning tour on the Wildside jet boat.

Ice berg in Shakes lake

Clients on one of the stops we like at a feeder stream into the lake.

Cruise ship we were guiding for. This ship also does tours to Antarctica.

Random iceberg sculpture in Le Conte bay. North America's southern most tidewater glacier.

The seals go into Le Conte to give birth and avoid the Orcas. Brenda served fresh Dungeness crab, smoked sockeye and king salmon, with fresh baked sourdough bread. Coupled with wine and beer what could be better?

We did two back to back trips to Anan today... lots of noisy jet boat travel but we had the clients on some bears today.
The first trip had a black bear come up to the observatory.

We had a black and a brown bear on the second trip. They were a bit farther away so I didn't take pictures.

Unique coloration on this bears forehead... let's see how it returns.

This is the Anan trail head. Drop off and pick up can be a bit tricky since some of the clients have mobility challenges. The boat is named Glacier Run and it's a Bentz boat made in Idaho. Powered by twin Yanmar 6lp diesels coupled to Hamilton 241 jet pumps. It seats up to 14 and is loud.

One fellers dream job, another's retirement gig. I'm not often envious, but you're pushing me...

I'd bet you would be good as a guide. You are articulate and would be a conversationalist with the clients, if I'm reading you correctly.
