The dawn of May 13th on board the National Geographic Sea Bird saw a customs and border protection boat pulling up to the stern. After a scenic cruise entering American waters, we were all clear to begin the second half of our adventure in Southeast Alaska. Dixon entrance is the body of water that guards the entrance to a legendary place called Misty Fjord. A National Monument, Misty Fjord is one of the most scenic places in coastal Alaska and a favorite among staff and crew. The afternoon’s program was to explore the waterway by kayak and inflatable boat. After paddling around the corner in the fjord, the ship weighed anchor and made a dramatic entrance thru the channel and around to the next entrance, by a spectacular waterfall. A very scenic Mother’s Day!
