Petting gators in FL

This is actually from a trip several months ago - inspecting bridge in Florida and came upon this guy.  They're actually quite docile.... when they're dead!

Bridge inspections in Wisconsin

I'm Gumbi damnit!

For coastal work, even up in NYC, fall diving in October is still awesome - the air is cool, the water still in the 60's and you can still wear a wetsuit.  Unfortunately, the rivers of the upper midwest are already in the 50's, as is the air temps... so break out the Gumbi suits!

Port facility inspections in Alaska

 We woke up on the boat in Bartlett Cove to see and hear this huge sea lion thrashing some good size fish around about a dozen feet off the rail.

 Taking a break from report writing during the day-long journey up to Glacier Bay from Gustavus.

 Up the fjord about as far as you can go without breaking out the dinghy, which the guys soon did...

 Sunset in the Auke Bay area near Juneau - amazing..

 Apparently bald eagles are like pigeons up there to the locals - they're everywhere.  Still very impressive and intimidating when they're staring down at you on the dock..

Ah, home sweet home for 2 weeks...
