| Fabulous Scenery |

| Bergs and Birds |
North on Endicott passed Sum Dum Glacier and out through the swirls at Harbor Island to watch the “Disney Wonder” coming through the narrow gap behind us. More whales here. Found anchorage in small cove at the entrance to Tracy Arm. Should tell you that the charts in Alaska lack a lot of detail and there are many uncharted things! Those along with drifting icebergs make for a lot of excitement. The bay was shallow at the entrance with rocks and deepened as we got into anchor. All separately this time. Then away we go in our dinghies past huge bergy bits in relatively rough seas. Twenty-one miles each way! The scenery is spectacular and out of this world. Can’t really describe the beauty; only wish you could be here too. We almost forgot how bumpy it was. Didn’t go into North Sawyer glacier, but continued on a long way through chunks of ice to where we could see South Sawyer. The Disney ship is completely surrounded by ice. What a sight! We celebrated our trip and let the “Wonder” break the ice so we could get out. Passed many seals and pups. Very rough seas again before we got safely back to the comfort and warmth of our boats. Goodbye party for “Gulf Island” who are heading home tomorrow morning early.
