2007 "The Season of Photography"
This year guests and crew on the Sikumi took over 30,000 pictures and small video clips. This is compared to about 10,000 in 2006. Every year we sort, edit and produce pics. It is always a big job, but this year it was a marathon.

For this newsletter we have published the best 200 or so (including some great lost pics from 2006). They include crashing glaciers, curious bears, pots of crab and shrimp, feeding humpback whales and much more.

2007 Season Flashback
A note from Meg Swimelar


Thanks to our crew and passengers for making our 2007 season so successful. 
 
Our past season was filled with new friends, new memories, new first time adventures, and a deep appreciation for the indescribable up close and awesome glaciers, wildlife, and natural beauty of Alaska.
 
This year was my first cruise as a passenger with six of my high school classmates. Our squeals, giggles, and tears were so high school! A float plane delivered lost luggage. Tears were shed seeing whales for the first time. Risk taking challenges were met courageously. We slept under the stars, kept the crew up till wee hours; we knew when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, and shed our skivvies at Baranoff.  It was a blest time for the seven of us. Our motto:"Girls gone wild. It's all about me." I'll always savor this time together on the M.V. Sikumi with my girlfriends.  

Thanks to our passengers for their positive and constructive comments on completion of their trip.  Crew and exceptional service were most lauded followed by "once in a life time experience," and "best vacation ever."
 
Look for new trips next fall in the San Juan Islands and day trips in the Puget Sound area.

Regretably, our 2007 season ended with sad news of Captain Kurt's father's fatal accident outside Sitka, Alaska.  Passengers will recall Kurt sharing loving stories about his dad and their family.

 
Peace and Happiness
