Baranoff Island from 55 miles away

Lv: Entrance Island anchorage, Hobart Bay.
Course: Stephens Passage > Holkam Bay > Tracy Arm
This picture is taken as we cruised up Stephens Passage looking across at Baranoff Island, about 55 miles away! Charles is starting to be a little braver everyday. He came out into the cockpit on his own this morning to get a little sun. I think he is starting to enjoy himself! More humpbacks sighted, but of course they are miles away.
Arv: Holkam Bay, Tracy Arm
Lat: 57 48.66 N
Lon: 133 38.08 W

We get our first look at icebergs! They are so beautiful up close. After putting down the anchor, we quickly get the dingy off the boat and head out to get some pictures and ice. We have another present to open tonight from Walter and Mavis. Of course we have a pretty good idea what it is since it is suppose to be mixed with glacial ice from Tracy Arm!

Hi you three sailors!

Please, please, please post some photos of the icebergs and whales when you are able to get close enough to them.
I forwarded your blog link to my sailing friends Eve and Neil in Crofton. They are going to follow you too.
Keep having fun and stay warm,
Love,
Roma
