Elfin Cove
The last several days we have been traveling north up from the Fredrick Sound area to the Inian Islands and Elfin Cove. Today we had a great show put on by a couple of Humpback whales, they were breaching and slapping for onwards of an hour and every one on got a great view. The whales are starting to come around more now, so we are getting better and better shows every day. Soon the bubble-netting will be the main attraction, I can’t wait!
Yesterday we went to a place none of us had been before, called the bay of Pillars. It was quite a disappointment, unfortunately. We had heard it was nice, but it really turned out to be nothing better than most of the places we pass along the way every day. Oh, well. Something different is always nice.
I did get to drive a zodiac for a couple of hours today on a lone tour of George Island. I had a great time exploring around and getting some alone time. It was nice to see parts of the Island that we don’t usually go to, and there are some great rock outcroppings and waterfalls to see. I enjoyed myself quite a bit.
We are off to Glacier Bay tomorrow, and it looks to be another beautiful day for seeing glaciers. I can’t wait…..
