Tracy Arm
We made it up into Tracy Arm today, and after a “normal” couple of days we had some excitement. Apparently in the last week a major chunk of the Sawyer Glacier Calved and sent ice into the water for many miles out. Not one person on the boat had ever seen so much ice up there before, and that’s going back nearly 20 years. We slowly picked our way through the ice up to the glacier and were rewarded with quite a scene, there was a chunk of ice 3 times bigger than the ship just below the glacier that made every one speechless. It’s sights like this that make all the hard work worth it.
Things have been going well on the boat the last few days, no real break downs to speak of. I’m getting the routine I had asked for earlier and I’m great full. I’ve actually been getting quite a few little projects done and the boat is coming along nicely.
The Chief Engineer rotational swap out is tomorrow……it’s nice to get to be able to work with two people who know so much. I enjoy working with both of the Chief’s here. Good people.
