Woke up this morning excited about going on the Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruise. We had to meet everyone at the dock to load the boat by 10 a.m. Captain Amanda Bauer welcomed us aboard. She narrated during the trip telling us about the Alyeska pipeline and terminal. And also telling us about the glaciers, and fishing on the Prince William Sound.
We went through ice that has broken off the glaciers. Also saw Steller Sea Lions, Humpback Whales, Sea Otters, Pigeon Guillemots, Tufted Puffins, Eagles, and Harbor Seals.
A great lunch of chicken with Alfredo sauce, rice, mixed vegetables and a roll was served in the middle of our trip. Then on the way in, we all were given a choice of chowder or vegetable soup.
In between waiting to see special things, some of the group took naps as it was a 9 hour cruise.
We got back in time to go where the salmon swim upstream to see if we could see some of the bears that have been known to hang out at the fish hatchery. We saw the bears the night before, but we were not so fortunate last night.
All in all the day was great and enjoyed by all.
