Day 248: At Sea, on the Way to Hubbard Glacier

Tuesday, September 23, 2014

We crossed the Gulf of Alaska again to see Hubbard Glacier.  On the way, early in the morning, just as every morning, the crew washes everything down to try to get the salt off.  The hoses are stored in those nice benches you see on the left, with the MS Amsterdam carved in relief on […]

Day 247: Kodiak in the Rain!

Saturday, September 20, 2014

(I have seen photos of the sun there, so they must get it once or twice a decade, at least…) A three photo panorama coming into the Kodiak Harbor. We took the bus into town.  It seems like using school busses in the summer to get people from the ships to town and back is […]

Sad news…

Saturday, September 20, 2014

The father of our Friend Robyn passed away.  He lived a full life, and I know her family will miss him enormously.  He was always a gentleman in my few dealings with him, and he freely let me drool on his Indian Chief and BMW R75/5. Bob and his wife, from Robyn’s blog: R.I.P. ~Curtis in […]

Day 243: addendum…

Saturday, September 20, 2014

I was looking at later photos and found this one from the Discovery Cafe, in Hope.  I have added it to the right post, too.  Bacon Cheeseburger and Chicken and Rice soup!  It was really good….The Dailylife Wife said her fresh Fish ‘n Chips was good too, as was that pie! ~Curtis in Alaska! {!-{>

Day 244: Homer, part 1

Friday, September 19, 2014

Homer.  It drizzled.  And there were lots and lots of seagulls. * ** *** Those big black round things are bumper pads for the ships…BIG shock absorbers! Untying. ** This is the end of the Spit at Homer. (A three photo panorama: click to enlarge; BACK to return!) Lots of wildlife in the sea! Rafts […]

Day 245: Homer, part 2

Friday, September 19, 2014

A five photo panorama of the shore while leaving Homer. Alaska has…Hoodoos? We aren’t sure what this boat was doing…we thought it was a couple of passengers that had missed the ship, but they didn’t let them on, at least that we saw… Common Loons. Another Otter! A drilling rig, sitting in a bay. A […]

Day 243: Anchorage (Hope), part 2

Friday, September 19, 2014

(A couple of new photos at the bottom!  And one in the middle!) After the Potters Marsh we drove on to Hope.  It is about 40 miles, at the end of one of the roads out of Anchorage to the South West. It was still pretty cloudy, although there wasn’t much rain with it. (Dailylife […]

Yup, One week into the cruise! Our stop today was Anchorage, just past Turnagain Island. (Photo by the DailylifeWife!) Once we got disembarked and onto and off of the bus to downtown, we hiked on over to the Car Rental.  On the way we saw…whales? Yup! While waiting in line at the car rental (you’d […]
