My twin brother arrived last night and my mom arrived this
morning. After shopping and a bit of touring around Juneau, we set off for
Tracy Arm Cove.
This is now my fourth trip to Tracy Arm/Endicott Arm/Ford’s
Terror this summer. Visitors to Alaska seem to want to see bears, whales, and
tidewater glaciers. In a four or five night trip, starting and ending in
Juneau, this is the place to come. It’s been fun really getting to know the
area and see it in different weather, but I’ll be ready to move on in a few
days…

The trip down to Tracy Arm Cove was hot! Think 70s and
sunny. No wind. The current pushed us along for most of the day, which made the
trip an hour quicker than last time.
Tracy Arm Cove was pretty full when we arrived around 8:00
p.m. I counted 12 boats, the most I’d ever seen. Still, there was ample room
for us to anchor and not feel crowded.

No wildlife today. Tomorrow we’ll head up Endicott Arm to
Dawes Glacier, then overnight at Ford’s Terror.
