Bear Glacier

It tough when you feel you may have hit the highpoint of a two month travel within the first week, but it is going to be hard to beat yesterday. Kelly did some guide work for Adventure 60 North a couple of years ago and the owners Rick and Michelle generously offered us the use of there equipment at Bear Glacier. Not only is this the largest glacier in the area, it has special qualities which make it spectacular to kayak around. This is a retreating glacier that has left a large bar across the bay which keeps all power boats from entering from the outside and keeps the many many icebergs from floating away.

We were dropped off in the morning and had 8 hours to paddle anywhere we wanted. Because the sun was out strong for a change, by afternoon the action (and noise that went with it) was astounding. We were flown in by Eric of Pollux Aviation giving us an outstanding flight and tour I did shoot some video from the copter and if I ever learn how to post it, I will. Following are a few pics and I will post some more in the future on my pbase gallery

The whole day spent will be one all three of us cherish forever.
