The immenseness of this Fjord is apparent with the Disney Wonder

Feeling small?
There is some wildlife around the glaciers
This Berg makes a nice seagull bridge
You could park a couple of semi trucks under this berg

It’s a sad morning, Tony and Gayle (“Gulf Island”)have made this their turnaround point and will be leaving at 5:00 am to head south to start making their way to Vancouver. Work awaits them July 4th. A lot of pear cider was consumed the night before and we send them packing with hangovers at 5:10 am. They want to leave themselves lots of time to get home in case they have to wait out bad weather. They should be in Prince Rupert in a few days and they will make their way home safely and slowly!
The rest of the herd makes its way south and then west with a stop on Admiralty Island and into Cashman Bay. We pass only one other boat enroute and arrive in Cashman to see two other boats anchored in there. We meet the “Mary Lou” who is the equivalent of Coast Guard Auxillary and see them again in Baranof Warm Springs. While we are eating dinner, we see a crab boat come in the bay to drop her pots and two other large charter boats drop anchor at the head of the bay. Having not seen many boats up here, it now starting to feel quite busy. We see a grizzly on shore in the morning and a deer and her fawn on the other shore. The most wildlife we have seen in any Alaskan Bay this trip. We do some gunkholing into the next bay and Mike goes out fishing. A nice spring salmon for dinner and we all keep wondering how Gulf Island is making out. Its been difficult getting both Cell and Internet – my apologies for the delay in reporting back to you all on a more timely basis!
