SAY GOOD BYE TO GLACIER BAY…..but we still have 5 days in Alaska

Tuesday April 30^th, 2019 – Neka Bay, just outside of Hoonah!

Well Hello all you Faithful Followers of the BLOG!

Lots of news to tell.  Yesterday we left Glacier Bay, but not before the Boat crew convinced several of the passengers to JUMP in to the bay!  The Alaskan version of the Polar Bear Plunge.  Well – not a chance that mom and dad and I were going to do THAT but of course Jim signed up.  We all gathered on the fan-tail of the boat and cheered on the jumpers.

Then we headed back to Bartlett Cove and the National Park Headquarters.  Along the way we stopped at Marble Island to look at Sea Lions sunning themselves on the rocks.  Jim and Ranger Nicole spotted a dead male sea lion on the rocks – evidently killed in a battle with another male for dominance.  There were also brown and black bear spotted along the ride, and MANY Mountain Goats. 

Dinner on Monday night was ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB, which was fantastic, and even I had seconds.  Dessert was a little fruit tart.  At Bartlett Cove we docked and people could get off to go hiking of they liked.  Mom and dad and Jim and I got off and walked up to the totem pole that stands next to the park headquarters, and then down the path to look at the skeleton of Snow the Humpback Whale. 

Honestly – when we got back on board I was TIRED and went to bed early.  We left mom and dad sitting in the lounge drinking cognac. 

Today we are anchored in Neka Bay, which is just outside of Hoonah.  We are all signed up for the morning skiff ride, and then I am going to see if I can get dad into the hot tub with me….

Wishing you were here!

Karen and the Adventurers…
