The boat holds 120 people but was only half full.
Plotting our course.
As you can see, it started out raining, but then cleared some.
The rock formations were stunning.
The water is only about 35 degress.

Larry & Gloria in front of Aialik Glacier.
We got to see a little calving as it breaks off and crashes into the Tarr Inlet it has formed.
More calving.
This glacier is about 1 mile wide and over 300 feet high.
Notice the size of the large boat in comparison.
A good look at a Humpback whale.
Sea lions sunning themselves.
Who's the boss !
They look like they're having a good time.
This little harbor seal is looking back at us. Notice how these two blend in with their chosen rock.
Does anyone know the name of this bird?
Bald eagle.
There are a lot of these guys up here.
