Tracy Arm Cove

June 20, 2013

We anchored in Tracy Arm Cove to await our trip up to one of the two Sawyer Glaciers (either North or South, depending upon which one is most accessible with less icebergs) tomorrow. We kayaked in the cove and approached a few icebergs, finding that it got colder as we got closer, which of course totally makes since (they are HUGE), but something I had never thought about. We were warned not to get too close as the icebergs can turn over without notice causing large waves up to 25 feet! Tommy was able to chip off a bit of ice from a very small beautifully clear “bergie” for us to use for Happy Hour. David has been looking forward to this glacial clear ice, so we had quite a celebration with our thousand year old ice. Rain started about 7:00.Iceburg approaching Tracy Arm Cove

    • Thanks. So glad b/c with so little access to wifi and then the wifi we get being soooooo slow, it takes what seems like forever to download photos. It’s a real PIAm So it’s nice to know someone is enjoying it!

      Leaving Auke Bay and cell phone service etc. imminently. Off to Hoonah (largest Tlinglit community in SE Alaska) and environs for a week then back here to pick up Carol-Ann & John next Saturday.
