Well today is the big day. We sail
into Glacier bay and see the Hubbard Glacier. Again, a fairly smooth
sail across the Gulf of Alaska and now smooth sailing into the bay.
Disenchantment Bay – a name given to
the bay by explorers who were looking for a north west passage and
found a wall of ice instead. The Hubbard Glacier is the longest
tidewater glacier in North America. It is 76 miles from Mount Logan
in Canada to Disenchantment Bay. It is about 6 to 7 miles wide.
We had a great viewing day in Hubbard
Glacier. We got cheese and crackers to the room – Inge's balcony
room and enjoyed that with a glass of wine. I could post all the pictures I have and it would not give you the full impact of the sight and sound of this glacier. It is majestic.
The Indonesian Crew put on a nice show
for us but again at 11 pm. They just seem to enjoy being able to
show off their talents.
We are running in the open ocean again
but it is so calm. Cloudy, cool and calm, the three c's of cruising
!!!
