Zija Alaska Cruise - Tracy Arm Fjord

We arrived into Tracy Arm Fjord on early Wednesday morning and quickly got off the ship and got onboard a small catamaran with another 150 people. This little boat took us to the Sawyer and South Sawyer Glaciers where the big ship couldn't enter. This trip to the glaciers was the most amazing trip ever. We saw the glacier calving before our eyes. House sized icebergs broke off the glacier and fell into the ocean, three times with a booming sound when they hit the water. Just unbelievable.

Amy, me and Rhonda

Rhonda fell asleep and Barry tied her shoe laces together. It is not a good idea to fall asleep in this crowd. Anything can happen. Just wait.

What do you think about this bright blue iceberg. The reason it is so blue is because the ice is so tightly packed and there is no room for oxygen.

Alex, Chandler, John, Connor and Joe

Waterfalls were everywhere.

As they say in Finland, your eye rests in this scenery.

Clouds are so low.

Rod was eating one of the icebergs.

Alex was impressed with the scenery.

That's the glacier

That is size of a big house.

Across from the glacier was this interesting looking rock.

Joe and Alex saw something interesting.

We were 1/4 mile from the glacier wall.

Another blue iceberg. Have we seen this already?

Gushing waterfall.

Leaving the Sawyer Glacier.

This could be in Hawaii.

So, here we go. Rhonda fell asleep and everyone decided to make Rhonda trashy. She had no idea.

Robbie put some toilet paper in her back pocket.

She woke up and still didn't have any idea what was happening.  So funny.


Another pose.

Seals sleeping on the iceberg.


Alex fell asleep but luckily nobody did any tricks on him.

Back in Juneau, while the boys went salmon fishing (didn't catch any), Jennilyn and I went to shop.


During our walk, we came upon this little lingerie number.

Night time view of the Juneau harbor.

Two ships passing in the night, except that one passed us.

Edgar created two swans for us to come home to.
