100 audience members on board the Allen Marine whale watching tour included 15 Alaskan authors and 3 illustrators, of which Clarissa was one…<\/p><\/div>\n

I was born nearly 60 years ago in Juneau and it’s only recently twice in less than two weeks I have been invited on a whale-watching cruise; both trips were\u00a0something new to me since 1) we weren’t fishing? 2) we didn’t have a port destination, and\u00a03) it didn’t cost me a penny. \u00a0And both trips were during the stretch of amazingly fine weather we had the entire month of May so it made whale watching all the more enjoyable!<\/p>\n
