Alaskan Cruise – View of Dawes Glacier

I just went on an Alaskan Cruise which brought us to Dawes Glacier. I always wondered what the glacier looked like up front. Surprisingly, it’s not white, or surrounded by water. Instead, it was nestled in this cove. It had beautiful blue crystal. I have a close up of a small piece that had broken off.

There were two tour boats following us, special excursion to bring people closer to the glacier. We saw some harbor seals, but I wasn’t quick enough to get a photo. Also, some people saw whales, I saw their spouts, but did not see their tails as they dove in, darn.

Alaska is beautiful, full of outdoor activities.

The most amazing part — BREATHING FRESH AIR! Really wonderful.

imageHaving recently moved to Seattle I am in touring mode wanting to explore and learn all about the area.

The Pacific Northwest has a real outdoorsy feel to it. So much water… it’s no wonder that seaplanes and boats are popular for touring the area, getting to the San Juan Islands, and beyond.

I admit I did make the mistake of talking like a tourist and not knowing my information. I went on a trip to Victoria on Vancouver Island. However, I thought it was Victoria Island as part of Vancover, you see the error. The crew on the Ferry were kind enough to pull out a map and show us (different tourists) the layout of Vancouver, Vancouver Island, San Juan Islands, etc.

I came across Harbors Magazine back in January when I was job searching. I was immediately drawn to the fantastic cover and when I went to Harbors Magazine’s website, I was able to view the magazine and see what it was about.

Great articles on adventuring in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle/Alaska/British Columbia). They cover boating, fishing, water front living, art, wineries, shopping, dining, flying… this is your “go to magazine” for being in the outdoors by boat or seaplane.

In every issue they have a map of Alaska, British Columbia and Puget Sound that shows you what Ferry and Seaplane service is available to you. This is wonderful and allows for easy trip planning.
