On a Coast Guard Cutter in the 100 mile wide pass between Kodiak Island and mainland Alaska sailing west. Smack in the middle a full grown bull moose swimming north 50 miles from land. One January in the Bering sea north of the Aleutian islands. 50-55 ft seas and 70 knot winds. Saw a walrus porpoising . Basically swimming for its life. Summer whale migration through the Bering Straits. Baleen eating whales travel north into the plankton rich Arctic. Pod of Orcas near Vancouver. 6-8 ft sunfish in north Bering sea.

I think the moose made it. It looked like he knew where he was going. The walrus may have drowned. I cant imagine they can swim like that for long. Dozens of whales all swimming north at the same time. Bering straight is only 20 miles wide. You can see Siberia and Alaska at the same time. Large ones. Blue and Wright whales. Ive seen whales mating twice. Jaques Cousteau didnt even film that until the 70's. The sunfish probably didnt make it either. Too far north. saw a volcano erupt on the Kenai peninsula from sea. Eagles as numerous as seagulls. Puffins. small seabirds with bills like a toucan. Parts of the inland passage that runs from Seattle to Glacier Bay resemble fjords in Norway.
