Alaskan Cruise, Thursday evening, Aug. 14

It's about 6:30 pm our time. We just finished eating and are thinking about settling in for the night.

Turns out last night we were fighting 13 foot waves. The fun lasted until about 2:30 this afternoon. At that point we headed inland to Hubbard Glacier. The weather stayed overcast but the water became quite calm. Though cloudy, the views of the glaciers were magnificent. Nice to see some scenery after grey skies for so long. I guess we've had beautiful mountain ranges out our window the entire time. We just couldn't see them.

We are now headed our first port. The water is a bit choppier compared to Hubbard Glacier but still much better than what we had. Oy!

(We tried to add some pics but apparently our internet connection is not quite up to the task out here at sea.)

Until tomorrow...
