Seward

Aialik Glacier / Bay

I almost bagged this trip when Jess said the waves were a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10 for rough water. I braved the elements with a heavy dose of dramamine and adrenaline. None of team Austin puked even while watching others lose their cookies (Go team). For the record, she said later it was 6 or 7 on a scale of 1 to 10.

  • Stellar sea lions
  • Ready for kayak
  • You paddle while I take pictures.
  • We saw harbor seals, and jelly fish in aialik Bay.
  • See how calm the water is in the bay?
  • Susan in her yak.
  • Where aialik Glacier meets the Bay.
  • On way back, cold wet and rocking around the cape.
  • Waterfall: fox Island

Riding back was crazy. I wish I could have taken a picture but I was holding on for dear life and couldn’t spare a hand. When we got back inside resurrection bay we saw humpback whales, dall’s porpoises, and puffins.

By the time we got to Exit Glacier the weather was amazing!
