Sammy's Sea Wolf Trip
We went on the beautiful, wooden boat named the Sea Wolf on May 5th and 6th. On our first day we stopped at Ice Valley While hiking, Greg told us that there was a rock contest. I won for finding a spectacular rock that looked like an egg. The prize was a rubber ducky.
After a halibut dinner, we went kayaking. Alyssa and Jessie were kayaking and there was a cute stellar sea lion following them. It was very invigorating for me to go kayaking for the first time.
On the second day we were hiking by Riggs Glacier and we saw some wolverine tracks. There was an ice cave and I found out that a ptarmigan lived in there when it was winter We ate some G lacier Ice. It tasted like fresh, cold water.
Then there was a cormorant contest to see who could be the first to spot one. Bethany won that contest. On the way back we saw stellar sea lions every where. There were also some Humpback whales.
There was an artist on board. Her name was Marilyn. She really inspired me to do more art projects. I drew a river that meandered past the rocks. It was calm and peaceful.
I am so lucky that I could have this experience. Thanks to Kimber for taking us on this fabulous trip.

The Sea Wolf Trip By Stephen
We went on an overnight boat trip to Muir Inlet on the Sea Wolf! On our trip we passed the Marble Islands. When we passed we smelled the stench of the Sea Lion haul out.
At Hunter’s Cove we kayaked in the setting sun. My favorite things were the silence of the kayak as the sun was setting.
The class saw wolverine tracks on Riggs Glacier. After we landed on the first beach we walked next to Riggs glacier and touched it. We had a lunch date with the Glacier!
Marylin, a wildlife artist, taught us how to use clay boards. Clay boards are small 4x4 boards with a thin layer of clay on the top. We used it to make things that we saw on the trip.
I kind of wish there more boys. But the dock came into view and we new the end of are trip was coming to an end. It was so sad to go.

Sea Wolf by Mani
On May 5th and 6th we went on a two day boat trip on the Sea Wolf. During the trip we walked about a half mile by the Glacier Bay. I had an amazing paddle in the kayak. We walked on lots of rocks. We collected data at Ice Valley. The weather was fantastic. I loved going outside to listen to the birds and to see them. Kimber was generous because she let us go.
It was my fist time walking by a Glacier and it was amazing.
I love walking. I also learned that the pink thing on the snow or ice is tiny plants it called snow algae.
We saw sea otters and sea lions by the Marble Islands. At Marble Islands we saw kittiwakes and cormorants. We saw lots of spiders at the land. We saw a bunch of the icebergs. It was great to see mountains because the rocks look amazing .We saw Rendu and Riggs Glaciers. We saw some bear tracks. The bear made marks in the tree, and we saw it. We saw humpback whales and it was fantastic to see them. We saw lots of waterfalls by the mountain and some people put their heads in the waterfalls. We saw lots of kelp in the water. We saw lots of silty water from the glacier. Some people screamed because they saw black spider. We saw many icebergs. Some people saw blennies and snail fish. I love to see mountain goat.
I liked it because everybody was having fun.
