Glacer Bay II


We met some friends in the Crow's Nest and decided to go to their suite so we could enjoy some Champagne and watch the Glaciers from the vantage of the balcony. The Captain has positioned the ship parallel to the Glacier so that we can wait and watch for an calving activity - we are not disappointed! We sat for about 45 minutes and were treated to four or more active shows of ice falling - HUGE cracking sounds - icebergs being created - it was very cool! We decided to visit the Jacuzzis on the aft of the ship and watch as we depart Glacier Bay - the cold air and the hot water where invigorating - and we got to see a pod of Orca jumping and swimming by as we departed the Bay! What a day! Tomorrow we are in Juneau for Priscilla's Birthday - Red Dog Saloon - here we come!
