Well, today was supposed to be a pretty scenery and glacier-viewing day, but the weather had other ideas. It was cold (52 degrees), rainy and foggy for most of the day as you can see from the picture of a hanging glacier on the left. It cleared up for a while, but when we got to Dawes Glacier, the rain picked up and fog settled in. We had one short window where we could kinda make out the glacier, but that was it. You can just make out the glacier in this picture (click to make it larger).
Besides that, I went wild taking pictures of waterfalls. There were too many to count. I saw one mountain that had 6 slender waterfalls coming down its face. Here are 3 of my pictures plus one of a dark blue floating chunk of ice.
As you can see, sometimes the weather cleared a bit, but later closed in again. The ship sat for 30 minutes with our balcony to the barely visible glacier, then turned around so the other side could see it.
Of course by dinner time when we had left the area, it cleared up and the sun came out! But that's how it goes sometimes.
Tomorrow we are in Sitka until early afternoon when we sail for Ketchikan.

Sorry you didn't get great visibility for glacier viewing today, but looks like there were a few glimpses of some pretty scenery. Hopefully things will clear up tomorrow!
