We spent Wednesday morning traveling through Glacier Bay National Park. We saw the Grand Pacific Glacier, the Margerie, Lamplugh and the Reid as well as some smaller ones. The ship stopped and we watched the Margerie for quite a while. She “calved” three times while we were watching, dropping off big chunks of ice into the sea. We also saw harbor seals, humpback whales, and several groups of Dall’s porpoises. Pretty fun to see and learn about the glaciers. A ranger from the National Park came onboard and gave a running commentary about the things we were seeing.
This morning is Ketchikan and a tour called Lighthouses, Totems, and Eagles. Then back to the ship for lunch and then a massage. Don’t tell Aunt Colene. She’s been hinting about a massage and Roxie and I have been ignoring her. She’s probably a bit put out with us… We’ve made an appointment and taking her to celebrate her birthday. Tonight is the second formal night. They’re supposed to do something special at the dinner for her.
Glacier Bay. Where have I heard that before? Oh, is it a campground a Rocky National Park?
