THE ALASKAN ADVENTURE Day 42 June 27, 2009 Lowells Point, AK

We got up at the crack of dawn, oh yea, there is no dawn, however it was early. The view that greeted us when we left the camper was absolutely stunning with the sun coming over the mountains.

After a quick breakfast we headed over to the kayak headquarters for our morning jaunt which would be about 3 hours. We met with Brad our guide and started getting things ready and it was quite nice out so I think we were over dressed. However it can get quite chilly out on the water.

We got all of our instructions about what not to do and then we dragged the kayaks down to the water. Only to have it called off. Resurrection Bay had suddenly gotten very rough and we were not allowed to go. So we hauled everything back up and re-scheduled for this evening.

We spent the day just enjoying the area and didn't do much of anything.

The evening paddle went just about the same way. It was a go right up until 6 PM when it was called off as the wind was blowing quite hard and it had started to rain. The really sad part is that by 7PM it had calmed right down, the rain hand stopped and it was a beautiful evening.

All three of these shots were taken when standing in front of the camper.

However we are not going to try again here. We will wait until we are in the Inner Passage and see about doing some kayaking then. Tomorrow we are panning to go to Exit Glacier National Park and hike out to the glacier. However tomorrow will bring what tomorrow brings.

Stay tuned the for the next installment of The Alaskan Aventure.
