So I told Susan I wanted to eat breakfast the next morning at Great Outdoors. Glacier Bay, scenery, fresh air, etc. This is the look she gave me.

 

 

Its like I stole her puppy.

A few panoramas didn't get timed right to fall in order of when they were taken. I just want to share those before i close Skagway's day out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These were all taken on Susan's cell phone.

 

We had excellent weather in Skaqway. We had so much fun and highly recommend Dyea Dave tours.

Day 6 - Glacier Bay National Park

 

 

 

 

 

 

[shadowmeboy]

After a beautiful day in Skagway, i was hoping for a similar day today. I was up to Great Outdoors by 515 am. Jeff was already up there. I saw a few whales in the distance, none close enough to shoot.

 

We entered the National Park at 530 am.

 

 

Jeff and I spot a whale feeding along the shore line.

 

 

 

 

The National Park Rangers come out to board the ship.

I see an Otter in the water.

 

 

A few minutes later, the National Park Service boat heads back towards National Park Headquarters which is near Gustavus, AK.

We went up to Spinnaker Lounge to visit the Ranger display.

 

 

 

 

 

Susan went and found the Bridge Viewing room and I went to the Stateroom and took a nap.

Its always sad when this arrives in your stateroom.

Dominoes, yes. You probably need to bring your own Skip-bo cards if that's what you want to play.
