We all enjoyed our last day in Elfin Cove, exploring the town even more and enjoying its beautiful atmosphere. Right outside of the harbor, the Fairweather Mountains lay, making their appearance every so often when the weather’s just right. In the evenings, the massive range glows underneath the sunset as the clouds hover above, painting a picture-perfect night.
The day was spent in many ways, but some of which were, going out to fish, relaxing by the boats, or spending two hours out in a dinghy with humpback whales. The fishing trip was a crowd’s favorite, as the people who decided to go split into two boats: salmon and halibut. When they arrived back from the trip, the results were very pleasing; we had caught many halibut, rockfish, sea bass, and salmon. The next highlight was Inside Passage’s dinghy ride out into the harbor where they spent hours surrounded by humpback whales, only about 100 yards away. What a treat!
Because of the great fishing results, we spent the night feasting on all of the day’s catch, whether it was a salmon filet, or halibut fried in bread crumbs. Everyone had their own fish fries, as we found it a good way to spend quality time with the people on our boats and other boats too, and a great way to enjoy a delicious, fresh meal.
Before long, the day had come to an end and our stomachs were stuffed more than we ever thought was possible. A fun next few days in Glacier Bay had us more than excited, and we all got to bed fairly quickly, preparing to enter the 45 mile National Park in just less than 24 hours.
