    Had a wonderful outing today with Fudge and Captain Levi. Fudge shared fantastic advice to get stellar photos even with an iPhone. Captain Levi was an expert in whale sign and positioned our group for fantastic photo opportunities. I’ve been on many whale watching trips, and a few in Juneau. And today was a magical day because of them.
