Wednesday 23rd of July: Nature went back to rainforest mode

Over night nature went back to reinforest mode. At breakfast we discussed whether it was actually raining or we were just sitting in the middle of a cloud.

Again the alarm went off and again there was no sign of interference nor any sound of something big retreating through the forest.

We got off to a 0915 start, wind and current was against us, but we had some ways to go and better to creep along the coastline at 3 km per hour than to wait it out in the middle of a cloud.

Shades of grey? Nope! Shades of silver they say around here

We made reasonable progress all the same and a short lunch was all the conditions invited to so we arrived at our island for the night around 1630.

As a bonus weather improved and several humpbacks were feeding just outside campsite. closer to shore two seals were patrolling -with scepticism we imagined.

We are also looking north into the east branch of glacier bay, a less trafficked place.
