hello from icy strait point!

greetings from icy strait point.  this is an area about 40 mile out of juneau where the ancient peoples of glacier bay went when the ice advanced and forced them from their homes and includes the little nearby village of hoonah as well.  today bob and i both had IPM (in-port manning) which we have decided to call IPS (in-port snuggling).  way to transmute an obligation into a reward!  so, tho we didn’t get to leave the ship, bob did get a few snaps off the deck, and we took some as we sailed away in the early evening… even with a few good pics now and again, to me, they always pale in comparison to the actual place and being there.  i think that’s why i never took too many pics in my life as i always preferred the version in my mind to the actual photos…  still, on the world voyage this year, i did begin to enjoy taking pics with the idea in mind of letting others see what we were seeing, and i get that… i guess i am just missing the inborn chipset that my mom and sister have, whipping out the camera at every occasion – bob is a good photographer and is more interested in it, tho i have recently become more grabby with the camera, wanting to get my own framing of something, so i think my photog muscles are developing a little. 

my theme tonight was ‘come rain or come shine,’ and i was surprised with two busy port days in a row and swoopy seas last night that i kept a bar full of people til after 11… we ended up doing another round of american pie by demand, and that lasted at leat 40 minutes… lots of nice people on this cruise so far!

pics coming tomorrow when i am in anchorage with free and speedy internet!  ciao!
