A lazy morning at anchor in one of the most gorgeous places we know of. After breakfast, Kevin took the drone up for some aerials:
We pulled anchors around 2 and motored to the exit of Ford’s Terror, and then some of us (opting for a long day that will end later this evening by anchoring at Wood Spit), turned left and headed further into Endicott Arm to see if we could get a look at Dawes Glacier. There was a bit more ice up that way when we entered Ford’s Terror a couple days ago, so we weren’t so sure how far we’d get.
The greenery on this cliff face looks like it was purposefully designed!
We got plenty far enough to see the whole face of the glacier. Cool!
Definitely time for some photos of boats and glaciers!
Missie took this fun photo of Ithaka while they stopped to get some ice for their cooler:
More seals and seal pups on icebergs:
We decided to drop the hook at Wood Spit tonight (getting in around 9pm after our detour to Dawes Glacier), rather than go back into Tracy Arm Cove. Wood Spit is gorgeous when conditions in Stephens Passage are settled, and this evening was calm and gray and rainy.
Humpbacks on our way out of Endicott Arm:
The anchorage is a little deep and a little rocky, but we all set just fine and got a good night’s sleep. And the views are spectacular…even in this weather.
Tomorrow, on to Juneau!
