September 17-18, 2015 – Cruise to Alaska (Hubbard Glacier-Sitka)
Thursday morning we woke to wind, rain and colder weather. We are sailing to Hubbard Glacier today and were hoping for it to clear but unfortunately, it stayed bad all day. Consequently our views coming to Hubbard Glacier were not very good. If you stayed out on the deck very long you were soon wet and cold. Rex braved the weather long enough to get some fairly good pictures but soon retreated inside to get warm. We were disappointed that we did not have better views of the glacier nor did we hear the ice cracking – that may be due to the wet weather. We were amazed that our ship could get as close to it as we did. We attended the evening entertainment after dinner which was a violinist/comedian. He was a very good violinist but we did not enjoy his comedy routine. Afterwards we went to the theatre and watched the movie – The Woman in Gold. This was an excellent movie...
