The usual day of cruising through lots of magic scenery...spending most of our time on deck gazing outwards for whales etc....we spotted the family of Orcas again and a humpback whale or two. A black bear was spotted on the shore and several of us were able to see him with the aid of binoculars but aiming the camera at such a small subject was useless...so no proof!
A bunch of harbor seals were to be seen and then we came across the fishing boats that had left Cordova the night before and we were treated to a demonstration of seine fishing (Captain ably steering our boat so as not to hinder the fishing) Won't bore anyone with the sequence of photos I took during the involved fishing technique but it sure looked like hard work.
During the afternoon we passed a colony of Steller sea lions perched on rocks and later on we reached Chenega Glacier.
Our Captain let our ship hover there for several hours as the ice gathered around us. After dinner we spent most of our time on deck, photographing and filming the glacier calve. So exciting. We didn't want to leave but alas, at midnight we started to make our way slowly out of the ice and icebergs.....so slowly, we were still taking photos of the glacier at 1.30 am...in really good light. Another magic day.
