We left Wrangell behind and cruised past the edges of the Tongass National Forest toward the Misty Fjord National Park. On the way the clouds gave us a few breaks for lighted landscape shots. Also, we tracked a pair of orcas. Orcas are not increasing at the pace naturalists would prefer. We did not learn (from the fin pattern) whether these were residents or transients, but they were pursing Dolls dolphins.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
