Glacier

Tuesday May 31st We were dozing when an early morning phone call came in from Paul  to let us know we were in the Tracy Arm Fjord, heading to view the Sawyer  Glaciers. Rob immediately went to our window, dressed in only his jocks and opened our curtains. Meanwhile, down on the deck in  front of us a large crowd were viewing the fjord but quite a few of our Australian friends were watching Rob. Ha, ha, he was caught out. We quickly dressed and went out onto the deck to see the beautiful sight of the small blue icebergs, the end of the huge glacier meeting the water, framed by mountains on either side and the green fir trees everywhere. We were given hot chocolate to keep us warm and many photos were taken. Our captain managed to turn the boat around, doing a 360 and then another 180 as we headed back out. We saw many seals on small icebergs and some swimming. We  also saw quite a few penguins but no bears. It was the most memorable morning of our trip. We made our way slowly out of the fjord to the inside passage and finally into the open ocean. We had a small swell develop and by the evening it was a bit bigger. It was another formal night for dinner so we dressed up again and had another beautiful dinner including lobster! After dinner we went to the palace theatre and saw two wonderful shows. The first one featured an Australian husband and wife team singing and playing musical instruments. They were quality performers and sang popular songs. This show was followed by a late night comedy show that was very funny and most entertaining.
