trust me those waves in the picture are ripples compared to the six feet of water we were going against for an hour just to get there. just imaginethe boat tilting at about 30 degrees in just about any direstion it wants when we got to the whale grounds.

Ah,those were swells. But yes, at times swells are worse than rough seas. Now for rough, I have been on the boat pictured below when the waves were crashing over the front of the boat and spraying on the wheelhouse and freezing Welcome to Southeast Alaska in the winter

Thanks! Glad to hear B6 is doing pretty well on that route.

You got sea sick in such calm seas?

Bok269- both flights were about 85 percent full with only about 10 or 15 empty seats

what exactly do you mean by loads. sorry for the question but i'm a little bit of a newbie.

-Chris

Oh sorry about that. WHen someone says loads/load factors, etc., they meant what percentage of the seats were filled on the planes?

Nice report and pics

went on a very sea sickening whale watch

Out of curiosity, how were the loads?

Glad to hear you had a good flight. B6 is my favorite LCC.

jetblue flight 1280 from RIC to BOS was a wonderful experience. we left on time, the snacks were good, and the flight attendants let me take pictures after a beautiful touchdown by our pilot we arrived at the terminal a few minutes late because of weather but i was fine with that. after a few days touring the city and going fishing we left for richmond. flight 1281 was a little bumpier than our glass smooth ride up but again the service was great except that the XM radio wasn't working. after an ok touchdown we disembarked almost a half hour earlier than expected. i would definately recomend jetBlue to any one. also, the diredtv is awesome. might upload some pics later.
