Todays Estuary trip with Ak Wildlife Cruises was different to any other I have ever been on or crewed on before, for many reasons. Firstly because I have never done a trip up the estuary aboard the "free spirt", so it was nice to have different scenery. But the main reason this trip was so different was because for this trip our clients were two families who came aboard for their child's birthday party. Now we don't normally have kids aboard that are 6-7 years old so I was a little worried they wouldn't be that interested or would get bored but I am happy to say that I have never been more wrong in my life. They were telling me all the wonderful facts about wildlife that they had read in books or seen on Deadly 60, a television series in which I can relate too because I am also a massive fan. It was absolutely brilliant to see them with such a great passion for wildlife and willing to learn from both Ck (Captain Keith) and my self. The future for our planet relies on us to protect it for the younger generation after us and with hope they will do the same, so they to can share the wildlife experiences we have had but after today I was happily proven wrong that not all kids are lost in to the world of technology. And that it's a bright future for the next generation of naturalists...
