Stephens Passage was pretty calm for our crossing to Holkham Bay. Before we left Pybus we picked up the shrimp pot and got our usual one shrimp. Sigh. As we motored to the next anchorage, we saw a few whales, nothing more than spouts in the distance. Several groups of the Pacific white-sided dolphins, though, came to visit the boat. I love those guys! I watched them this time from the bow and they clearly enjoy darting back and forth under the bow. They were so close I even got dolphin snot sprayed onto me when one came up and exhaled right under the bow while I was looking down.
We knew we were getting close to the Tracy Arm when icebergs started to appear.
We had already had a long ”drive”, so we stopped for the day in the Tracy Arm Entrance Cove, poised to explore the glaciers tomorrow. There is really only one safe, easy anchorage in the Tracy and Endicott Arms, and this is it, so there are five other boats here with us. Yikes! It feels so crowded. The boat-sized iceberg that drifted into the bay with us this evening doesn’t make things any roomier.
Tonight we had a madras curry made with one of yesterday’s cod. Yum! We ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture.
Ryan just saw a bear on the shore through his binoculars. We think it’s a brown bear—it’s got the hump, but it’s got a very dark coat. Aaand, here comes another boat. That makes seven of us now. Ugh, so busy!
