July 24, 2014 - Hubbard Glacier

Our day started with room service breakfast. Ken went to a lecture on the ports and I went to the "book club" to find out what the book was. (It is We Are Water, and I have already read it.) We ate lunch in the dining room and I may have taken an afternoon nap.

Meanwhile, we sailed across the Gulf of Alaska uneventfully, and arrived at Yakutat Bay around 3 pm. By 5 pm we were near the face of Hubbard Glacier, 250 feet high. The water was littered with small icebergs, and a very cold wind was blowing off the glacier.

Tonight was the first formal night. Very few people were dressed up. After dinner we saw a production show called "Piano Man." We have seen it before, but it is a fun show, featuring the music of Billy Joel, Barry Manilow, and Elton John. I could do without Barry Manilow, but I really like the other two.
