Tracy Arm
Rising above the surrounding mountains, a solstice sun greets the Sea Bird. This voyage of discovery has taken us to the headwaters of a deep winding fjord known as Tracy Arm. Here we meet the maker of this great gorge; a gargantuan gleaming glacier named Sawyer. Like the sound of distant cannon fire, frozen blocks spill from the glacier’s face into the blue waters. These drifting bergs then provide pupping sites for harbor seals and roosts for mew gulls. Overhead Artic terns scream and then dive toward the icy waters.
In the afternoon, the Sea Bird anchors at the mouth of Tracy Arm in Williams Cove. Walkers take to the beaches to enjoy the 80 degree day. Kayakers also take to the sea to paddle among the statues of ice. During these sojourns, we discuss the DOs and DON’Ts of recreating among the icebergs.
