Day 4 - Seward
23 miles
Finally, we had a sunny, beautifully mild day and we spent
it aboard a glacier cruise boat.
The wildlife was amazing – not only did we see sea lions and
puffins,
a cousin to the penguins,
bald eagles and porpoises,
we were treated to a couple humpback whales breaching and flapping their tail fins at each other.

We also got an incredible, up-close look at a glacier as massive
chunks broke off into the water and made an incredibly thunderous roar.
We were lucky enough to find a nice, quaint Alaskan cabin to
stay in while in Seward. It just happened to be adjacent to the rest of the
Seavey’s dog camp.
The woods were peaceful and quiet, until doggy feeding time,
when the dogs, a half mile away, began to howl and bark. Even that, though was
oddly comforting.
We took some time to walk up the road to the camp, and met
Danny Seavey and spent some time talking all things mushing.
Dinner the night before was so wonderful that we decided to
do it again.
and the food was just as good as the previous evening.
