Day 5

What another dreary day...oh well.
We headed to check-in for our cruise and were given warnings..."It is recommended that you take Dramamine due to rough waters. If majority of those on the boat are sick, we will turn back and you will get a refund. If you would like to reschedule, you are more than welcome to do so."

Wow, so Dramamine or no Dramamine that is the question... We departed ontime and saw some really cool wildlife..Bald Eagles, Mountain Goat, Whale, Harbor Seals, Sea Otters, Puffins, Raven, etc. The seas did get quite rocky and I began to feel queasy. I was stainding at the front of the boat watching the high waves hit the front of the boat. I eventually headed back to my seat and took a Dramamine. I hoped it wasn't too late...Several around me were using their barf bags wisely. By then it was almost the power of suggestion. I was able to keep m breakfast down. We made it through the rough waters and had lunch...Fried halibut, chips and an apple. Pretty good!!! After lunch, we headed to a glacier. We were able to sit and watch it for several minutes. We could see bits and peices falling off of the glacier. Very powerful!! The scenery was AWESOME. The sun did decide to come out just a bit and followed us back to shore. Dinner included a Salmon bake, rolls, rice pilaf, dessert. Very Yummy!!!

I'm very glad that I had the opportunity to go on this cruise and see God's creation in a different part of the world.
