We spent last night in this beautiful narrow canal. And this morning we spotted bears on the shore and caught another salmon!
We’re on our way to Tracy Arm, which is an inlet that has two glaciers in it that come all the way to the water. Supposedly, you can watch them calve, and the entire inlet is full of little bergie bits that come off of them. The inlet is 25 miles long with no good spots to anchor, so we’ll spend the night at Tracy Arm Cove, at the head, and do the round trip in a day.
Here’s one of our iceberg teasers. There’s a few big ones like this piled up in the mouth of the harbor after coming off of the Sawyer glaciers at the end of Tracy Arm.
This afternoon was just ridiculous. Humpback whales in all directions, salmon jumping everywhere, and an enormous pod of orcas. The humpback whales are so cool—you’ll notice a dark spot in the water and then after a minute it’ll blow and you realize it’s the back of a whale who is just lolling around at the surface, I don’t know, sunning?
