Tracy Arm Cove to Tracy Arm and back - 9 hours, 48 miles

We are heading into Tracy Arm today to see if we could make it as far as the N. and S. Sawyer Glaciers. Two years ago when we was here, I think we made it half way, or maybe ¾ of the way there but ran into an ice field and decided to turn around before damaging their boat. Today the icebergs were broken up pretty well and we made it almost all the way to the base of S. Sawyer Glacier. Heather & Ann sat on the bow in their Coleman rain suits and was bundled up pretty good. We passed probably 50 waterfalls from the tiny to the amazing. We ended up seeing the N. Sawyer Glacier in the distance to the left first. But it was barricaded by an ice field and huge icebergs that our boat could not penetrate. As S. Sawyer became visible around the corner, it was awe inspiring. It was several hundred feet tall and the brightest blue. It was awesome. We turned off the boat just to look at it and take some pictures. Then we headed back the other direction (another 3-4 hours back) stopping to get up close to a few waterfalls along the way. We finally returned to the anchorage at 6:50 PM. We were all tired but didn’t want to go to bed. Fred went to bed to read and crash early and Ann, Heather & I watched ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’. I was bored.
