Usually, when we see mountain goats they are tiny little nature dots high up on the walls of either Endicott Arm or Tracy Arm, but not this day. The David B was underway and I was making lunch for our guests in the galley when I looked up and spotted a female mountain goat and her kid only a couple of hundred feet up from the water’s edge. It was such a pleasure to watch them without having to crane our necks back so far while looking through binoculars.
