We're back. After 3 days without cell or internet service we're back in semi- civilization - Juneau. The first day out of Petersberg we stopped in a small cove in a larger bay where the forest sevice had this float dock, nice because I didn't have to pull anchor.








Going into and out of the bay we saw a lot of humpback whales. These pictures are hard to get because you usually have the camera ponting the wrong direction when they surface. I've got a lot of pictures like these, just before they disappear again.










We then went into Tracy Arm to view the glaciers. They're about 15 miles back in so it is an all day trip back to the head of the fiord. Beautiful country. These are both tidewater glaciers nad here is a shot of the face of one of them. I saw a small "calving" on the face of one of the glaciers while we were there. At one of the glaciers a tour boat had just left the face of it so we followed the path that he had left. By the time we took a few pictures and turned around to go out we found the path had closed in. A little scary but we found a way out, through mostly slush although I heard a few loud bumps.


We saw a lot of icebergs on the way, most of them large and easy to see like this one. You had to watch closely to make sure you didn't hit one of the smaller ones that were mostly submerged.
