Glacier Bay

Saturday July 20th.

I woke up early to watch the British Open on the tv in our room, lucky enough to get ESPN, which had the coverage.  We were headed to Glacier Bay from Skagway down the Lynn Canal, thru the Icy Strait, and into Glacier Bay. Along the way we passed Haines AK, which is 15 miles by water to Skagway and 359 miles by road, going the long way home.

Once we entered Glacier Bay it was so foggy that the park rangers who were to come on board to give us a guided tour of all the glaciers, pulled up to our ship and could only see it when they were right on top of it.  We passed the following glaciers: Reid, Lamplugh, Johns Hopkins, Topeka, Margerie, Grand Pacific. While we were watching the Margerie, when we saw a calf, a small breaking of the glacier and a plunge into the water.

  1. Oh my goodness...the scenery is so amazing. Do you have a picture of the boat you are on? Was it too foggy to see the glaciers or could you get close enough to most of them?

    Was the calf prey to anything out there? Or did it just swim over to it's family?

    Mickelson nailed it and I love this quote as it applies to my business as well: ""You have to be resilient in this game because losing is such a big part of it. What a great example of what working hard on your game can do.

    And now...back to our regular sponsor...
