We had just a short paddle planned back to Glacier Bay Ranger station, at Bartlett Cove. Our eight day permit to explore Glacier Bay was up. And we need to arrange for the pick up of Mikko’s boat before he heads back from Gustavus on Monday.
There were whales, not quite as many as yesterday, but still five to six within the four by five km bay in front of us.
On our way back we saw a black bear at the shore of the island nearest Bartlett Cove. The closer we get to people the more bears we see.
The agitated sea lions from last Friday was still there and no happier to see us than last time.
And the apparently “happy go lucky” sea otters didn’t care today either.
We got the tents up. We chose the site with the freshest bear shit, it seems they shit a different place every night, so this site is hopefully “spoken for” -or shall we say “shat for”- for the two nights we stay here.
Sunday Karianne and Erling paddle on to Juneau.
That means four days without coverage. Except satellite.
