I'm sure these don't belong here, but I did take the Raptor to get to the boat. We took a small boat tour that picked us up from the cruise ship on our Alaskan Cruise. My one and only cruise that my wife got us for my retirement. Insider Tip: If you book an Alaskan cruise, book your Side Excursion's 6moths to a year in advance. You will never get on any of the good ones if you wait until the last min. This was the Tour up the Tracy Arm Fjord. We won the lottery, we saw Glaciers Calving, Bears, Whales and Seals and the Once in a Lifetime Alaskan Shooter! A shooter is when the Glacier Calves off a piece Under the Water and the Huge Chunk Glacial Ice (100+ feet) 2015-07-08 TRACY ARM 176.JPG2015-07-08 TRACY ARM 177.JPG2015-07-08 TRACY ARM 178.JPG2015-07-08 TRACY ARM 179.JPG2015-07-08 TRACY ARM 180.JPG SHOOTS OUT OF THE WATER and comes crashing down, causing some nice waves that could flip your boat. Our boat CPT said he had been doing this for 15+yrs and this is the first one he had ever seen. I was the only one crazy enough to be standing on the Upper deck of our boat Freezing my Azzz Off with my Camera at the Ready. Everyone else was inside sipping hot chocolate.:anitoof::anitoof: The Marie Biologist on the cruise ship wanted to buy the shots to use in his presentation. He had never seen one either and said how fortunate we were.
