Amazing! I was on the Puget Sound Express puffin tour out of Edmonds last
week, but it's a big boat, so you don't get that close to them. Your photos
show that you can get a lot closer on a small boat, so now I've booked a
"Research Expedition" ticket with the Salish Sea School for July.

Note that the Salish Sea School has two types of tours, big boat with 40
people for $119 or small boat with 6 people for $270. I signed up for the
wrong one at first but they helped me get that fixed.

thanks, matt
