Glacier Bay National Park

Glacier Bay is more beautiful than words can begin to describe. We saw a coastal brown bear, humpback whales, bald eagles, mountain goats, and sea otters, which made the day absolutely unforgettable. I can't believe I saw both a goat and an otter with babies! But what flabbergasts me the most is that the bear looked at the whale.

I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story even though, yet again, they fail to capture the magnificence of nature. Czytaj więcej

Arrived in Skagway
8 czerwca 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F
We spent about 22 hours underway to get from Glacier Bay to Skagway, arriving at 21:30 tonight. Different than usual, we had to tie up at the railroad dock. A couple of land slides next to the dock this past winter forced the larger ships, those with 20- to 30-foot drafts, to dock where we usually do. The worst thing about docking here is that, because of the damage the slides caused, we're not allowed to set up a gangway. Instead, we can only come and go from the ship via our launch, which takes two deck crew to operate (Third Mate and a deckhand, minimum). As you can probably imagine, many of the crew and lots of the guests are not happy about that.

Along the way, we saw Sentinel Island Lighthouse, lots of waterfalls, a herd of sea lions, and Eldred Rock Lighthouse. Not the tremendous wildlife viewing day we had yesterday, but beautiful nonetheless.

A Few Hours In Skagway
9 czerwca 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ 🌫 46 °F
I felt very appreciative when the Excursions Director offered me a free trip on the sight-seeing railroad yesterday, but wasn't sure I would get to go until this morning. That definitely got me out of bed!

After grabbing a nearby geocache, I took the White Pass & Yukon Route narrow gauge, diesel engine railroad from Skagway to White Pass Summit and back again, followed by a quick tour of the town in a restored 1927 Mac "street car." I was only off the boat for about 4.5 hours, but it was nice to get away...even though it was before my 12-hour shift.

As for the rest of my day, noon to midnight, with no gangway to watch, no helm to man, and no anchor to check on, I basically did laundry and helped shuttle people back and forth from the boat to the harbor using the launch. [I didn't operate it; I just tied the boat off and helped load/unload.]

I've attached the history of the railroad from the pamphlet. It was interesting...and other than shopping and drinking, there's not a lot else to do when you find yourself in Skagway 🤣. Czytaj więcej

We left Skagway this morning at 05:00 and arrived in Haines only two hours later. At 09:00 we had a fire drill, so any hopes I had of getting off the boat before work were shot. I didn't have any plans, actually. I just wanted to sleep, but oh well.

We left Haines tonight at 20:00 and are bound for our debarkation port in Juneau. While manning the helm this evening, a humpback popped up right in front of the boat, made two blows, then dove deep. The Captain had me veer away so we would be well away from where it looked like it was headed, and we didn't see it again. I would be devastated if we hit a whale, particularly if I was on the helm. It is so very difficult to see anything in time to avoid it, even when there is still a bit of light in the sky after midnight. I don't like driving at night. Czytaj więcej

End of the Voyage: Juneau
11 czerwca 2023, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ 🌧 48 °F
Today, we finished our 14-day cruise from Seattle to Juneau, transiting the Inside Passage with zero storms, only a few hours of turbulent water, and lots of animals. It's been a whale 🐳 of a time 🤣.

Only by a series of misdirections do we find our true bearing. I hope you have found yours, but if you haven't, may you have an epic series of misdirections until you do!
