    All at sea...

    August 22, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    It is 7 am aboard the rather ironically called Norwegian Sun . Of course, the morning is dull and overcast with drizzle, which is all we have encountered in Alaska. The locals say it has been a bad summer, with only the odd day of sun over a two week period.

    The ship is pleasant, and we are still exploring. Paul and Cathy are sleeping in...

    We are at sea right now, heading toward Hubbard Glacier. Pics to follow!

    UPDATE: I have added some pics of Hubbard Glacier...it was a bit hard to photograph as it is massive...7 miles wide, between 10 and 20 stories high, and 35 miles long. It is huge! It is an advancing glacier, and calves off frequently. The noise of the ice crashing into the ocean is tremendous, and the water is littered with great chunks of ice. Quite fascinating.
