Alaska - Day 8 - Cruising - Hubbard Glacier - Sept. 1, 2012

Our first day at sea is spent cruising and we finally reach Hubbard Glacier and spend a couple of hours idling so we can get some good views of it.  Barbara was seasick this morning and I looked like a drunk as I roamed around the ship but the seas calmed by the time we got to the glacier.  Ron and I went outside for picture taking and the weather was cold and wet.  I saw two people slip and fall on the stairs so we made a quick retreat to the warmth and safety of the inside.  We were fortunate to see the glacier calve but I wasn't fast enough with my camera.  It's interesting to stand and watch all these people watching ice, waiting for it to do something!
